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.

I have finished the quilt I was making as a raffle fund raiser for Relay For Life this year.
Ocean Windows.
The colour is a bit odd on here, much brighter in reality. 48" square.

Looking forward to seeing it Lovetosew....and thank you. 🙂
I am having photobucket trouble with sizes, cannot figure out what I am doing to get such big pics, I have reduced the size and replaced the original but still it is huge.

I am looking at a Convergence quilt....... anyone done one? It looks easy and fast as well as interesting. Just have to choose some fabric.
(I started out cleaning my sewing room and reorganising my stash of fabrics....and got sidetracked)
