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.

Grandaughter turning 4 in September, Puddle. :-x just getting borders on now before the arrival of the 2 terrors....
we bought a new treadmill yesterday and they think the box makes a great boat.... so I also have to make a sail!!!!

[puddleback]

Ah the joys of a big cardboard box!
Itis amazing that no-one has thought to market the big cardboard box as a children's toy!:^O

[twinkles**stars]

I tossed out the cat scratch pole (which he never used) after the cat took to a large box instead...I just replace it every few months or so, lol They do come in handy and so recyclable:-p

Now puddle....you could patten that idea

[azureline**]

Boxes are great.... I found some wheels that are designed to make a cardboard box into a trailer. The children all have one and they love them.

Front

Pic 2........back of quilt... which was going to be the front until I found the Babushka? print and decided what I was going to do.
Back

The front has a chenille border. I bound it instead of raggy edged, as it will take a lot of punishment.
