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 used a wool batting, 2 layers, Keeli. It was a request.

this quilt was made from 77 squares sent in from eBay chatters on ebay usa. a very crafty lady in Canada made a quilt from them the only proviso was each square MUST contain yur ebay id. .. some were embroidered, some aplique, some vintage fabrics, some inkjet printed....
the quilt was raffled for Charity.. it now hangs on a wall in my spare room and I love it to bits!
My square was a vintage piece of embroidery, cut from a damaged tablecloth.
