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.

Hope someone else will post some of their craft - would be good to keep a craft thread going.

Klarry - how about some pics of your cards?

Gorgeous quilts Rosie. I want to learn how to do stuff like that.

This is my "masterpiece" 😛 It's just bits of fabric I liked plonked together and I have no idea what Im meant to do next. Probably some kind of backing? Completely clueless.

[rosieglen]

That is really pretty.

Just some wadding and backing and you have a quilt!

I love the colours

I love the flower blocks, very pretty! some wadding, either cotton, bamboo or wool and a nice backing and quilt diagonally and in the ditch?
I would probably add a border first, using either a coordinating fabric or one of the ones already there.
The best quilts are the ones we do because we like the fabric prints!:-x

Thanks Rosie and Karen. I've kept back some material to do a border so that's next on my list. Then I think I'll take it into a quilting shop near me and ask for tips on how to finish it.

Hopefully soon I'll be able to post pics of the finished product!

Looking forward to seeing it.

This quilt is one made by the same group of crafty people with some extra ones, I think Rosieglen, Norti, and ? can't recall who else? anyone?

These were already in my photobucket.

[rosieglen]

I love those. The patterned background fabric sets them off beautifully.
