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.

Congrats on the snipe ...lol
Can you not put a url in ??? I didn't know that.

I tried typing in the url (thanks chuk) but interestingly enough I still couldn't open the first site (Marcias I think)

Anyway, was able to open a couple of other 'free pattern sites' from there, so thank you both.
Have now made a quilting folder and madly bookmarking all site suggestions into it 🙂

I need to do some reading ... don't understand blocks and have no idea how to do a neat corner., unless it's done in long strips first.
.... yes I know., have lots of reading to do.
I bet when I do eventually get it and start quilting, you won't be able to stop me... lol.

Too much reading will do your head in. Well it did me anyway.

Just remember that there is no such thing as the quilt police.

Its your quilt - be as creative as you like and as long as you are happy with it that is all that matters.
