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.

dont stress to much chuk, all quilts according to the shazz quilting book of ethics must have at least 2 wonkys

alright yay. I will go down as a legend in the shazz quilting book of ethics. No one will ever be able to match my wonkiness.:^O

[lill_shazz]

yay for the wonkys

ah I hate maths. Everyone keeps changing the rules on measurements.
In school it was "measure in cm"
In my interior design dip it was "measure in mm"
Now I;m quilting its "measure in inches."
Someone make up their mind please!!!!! :^O

I'm babysitting so just checking in here and elsewhere on and off.

Measurements are confusing, in hubbys work we always talk metres & mm but when ordering things some like to confuse and talk cms.
