Old Chinwag Craft Board Block Swap 2007

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.

LOL chuk, so much for the easy pattern..Hah, it had come together really well and I had it all laid out and it was looking grand, then went to join it together and realised I had misread the instructions so had to take 1/4 inch off the bottom of all the blocks to get it to match..grrrr!!

However when it is finished I will post pic.

I'm sure you would find it dead asy, so if you like it will send you the instructions.

I'm having a break from it tomorrow, going out tomorrow night so won't do any more for a couple of days

Oooh yes please piecey.

I have nearly finished said "easy" pattern, just quilting the borders.

I am using a stencilled design, first time I have ever tried, but actually find it easier than sewing a straight line LOL


Have also just started a disappearing nine patch, loving doing it....so far that is really easy and very effective


Looking forward to your pics..
