Old Chinwag Craft Board Block Swap 2007

[azureline**]

Sometime in early 2007, the Craft Board quilters got together and organised a Block Swap. We had to design and prepare enough blocks to make a quilt for ourselves, provide the first block completed and send the package on to the other crafty people in the swap.
We each completed a block in everyone's set.
My quilt was for my grandsons' bedroom in my home. I set a theme of teddy bears and boy's toys.
Most of these quilts have been finished for some time....... but.... I could not make a decision on how to do mine until recently.
I learned so much in that year and can't thank everyone who was involved enough! My applique skills are much improved.
So, thank you ♥

I have also sewn the labels of the blockmakers onto the back of the quilt, behind the relevant blocks.
I made mine into a quillow, a quilt that folds into a pillow, so one of the blocks is on the back of the quilt and when folded into it, becomes a pillow.
My 3 yo grandaughter looked at it and said "Gran, that is brilliant" and that is a good recommendation, so I have to thank everyone who was involved.

Oh, I did enjoy reading this thread(well most of it)
I love the beautiful quilts and thankyou for showing them:)
Talented ladies you are, and I am most envious of your talent.
I have seen one of Rosies beautiful quilts on her bed and it is gorgeous.
TASFLEUR You do yourself no favours denying your expertise with the sewing needle, I have seen a lot of your work and I also am lucky enough to own a lovely wall hanging which hangs on the wall in the spare bedroom, also 2 beautiful cow cushion covers!
I also have a wall hanging from Rosie which I treasure also:)
Thanks guys for showing your work it is appreciated, I also remember seeing the beautiful quilt that was organised for Amys Mum:)
I remember all the love that went into a quilt for Pauline from the quilting ladies, so all in all you lot are not only talented but generous as well.

[rosieglen]

Those are just beautiful - the colours are amazing.

They are the best ones, the ones that are not the same. I really don't like repetition, I cry if I have to make anything too orderly, lol.
I do have a set of blue and white blocks made in class, when we were being taught techniques.... must get them out and have another look at them.

[rosieglen]

Oh no 😞

I thought the people next door had burnt the toast.

I forgot I put fruit on the stove for a boiled fruit cake.

It is BLACK - will have to start again. I just hope the stench is gone before our open house.

Serves me right for being too engrossed on here.
