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.

Bringing this to the fore before the changeover and the intent to archive 90 day old threads.
I will endeavour to post regularly here if people want it, however, I would prefer to see pics of craft items rather than just bumped? so I will.... as soon as I have something to show...:8}

LOL thanks for bumping pnp.

I will certainly try and post pics soon.

As I currently have one table runner (hand paper piecing) and three quilts on the go, and I am going to class on Tues to do an English wedding quilt, who knows, I may actually finish one and be able to post pics sometime in the future:^O

The blocks in this were done by a group of friends both here and in NZ and USA - they sent them to me and I did the centre and put it together.
Made a funny wall hanging. A friend loved it so much I finished up letting her have it.

Oh I love that rosie:^O

I have a couple of really close friends and we have always said if we all end up single when we are older we are going to buy three units in the same complex.

That looks like us sitting on the sofa LOL (except 2 of us would probably have a G&T in our hand:^O
