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.

I haven't been quilting as such but here are a few things I have made. The 1st is a nappy bag and the other are tied fleece blankets. I have made about 5 in the last few weeks, small ones for toddlers, the larger ones for adults.

I hold my breath every time hoping I don't put up huge photo's, so here goes.

They're great indigo. I especially love the bag, great colours and lovely lining fabric

[rosieglen]

Those bags are lovely.

Very nice, Indigorose, I love the colours and fabric in the bag!

I made these blocks intending to make a quilt but.... sold them on ebay instead, as a ufo.....

[azureline**]

same with these, some blocks I completed the applique, some I didn't.


I often wonder if the buyer did and what they did....

[azureline**]

I did not make this one
my daughter did, using her pony club and Gymkhana ribbons.... well, maybe 1/4 of them.
Those last 2 pics are massive, I will delete the post and redo them as a thumbnail?

Reposting smaller clickable pics of the 21st quilt. 21 hearts and the fabric is country/farm type .

pnp, the gymkhana quilt is very clever.

The 21st one is stunning, but can I ask is it puffier than normal? Did you use a special batting or is that just the light?
