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.

Woohoo, on the home stretch with the quilt. I think I like Batiks now. This is for my grandaughter's 8th birthday on Monday. Still have to layer, quilt and bind......

I made this Felt tree for little ones who like to decorate and undecorate the tree.... constantly, lol.

Great idea

My latest quilt, was supposed to be ready in October but my Janome kicked the bucket, so this had to have 1/2 the quilting unpicked :|......and redone on my new machine.:-D

Finally done and ready for the grandaughter when she arrives today!

Love that one Az - how old is this granddaughter?

[azureline**]

She is 9 Rosie.

Thank you, your last batik one was what convinced me to try it. :-xThe back is black with a faded spot and I ventured into printing my own label for it too!.

Very nice Az.  It will be loved.

Unpicking quilting is the pits

Thank you, she loves it! so excited as this is her first one and her sisters already had theirs.

Unpicking........millions of stitches.............. I would have rather made a new one but  this one was pricey!:8}
