    Default Lookie what I did!

    I'm in a doll quilt swap with some blogger friends. I received my quilt last week - isn't it adorable? Blog Pictures 192.jpg


    Of course when I sat down at the machine to start mine, I changed my mind at the last minute. I decided to try to tackle prarie points and set them in a 3-D pinwheel....I'm going to set four blocks together (2x2) with sashings in between - I'll post the finished top when I get it finished....

    Cute! Hey, maybe we should start a quilt block exchange group on here?! Make a couple of quilt blocks and exchange them until everyone has enough to make a quilt? It would be a great way to clear out the scrap bags!

    You've got my vote!!! Just tell me when/where!!!

    I finished the quilt center - four blocks with sashings...but my camera battery died..ggrrr

    I'm having trouble deciding on borders, so I'm going to walk away and work on it some more tomorrow.

    Hmmm....We'd need maybe 6-12 people and probably have to do 10-12 inch blocks. Maybe do autograph blocks? It'll do the spam spam spam thing on me if i try to post the web site, but there's a site called quilterscache dot com where they have THOUSANDS of quilt block patterns If we can find enough willing participants, I'm all for it!

    I love that site! www . quiltville . com is also another good one.

    Start a thread to see if anyone else wants to play. I need to finish up some UFO's I'm working on the next few weeks and I have a 9 patch swap that's due the end of Aug - but I could probably sqeeze you in some where this summer?! heheh!

    Maybe LATE summer LOL. I still have Socks for Soldiers that I've been knitting on since January, and my never ending pile of bonnets to crochet and knit (I sell reenactment clothing to Civil War reenactors on E-Bay for a living, among other things) Hey, what did you think of that one girl who was making the BS comments on how if someone's on food stamps their not a good parent? She's got a few screws loose up yonder, eh? But don't we all.... LOL

    I am so in awe of people who can quilt!
    Now, I am too impatient to do needle work.

    It looks very nice.

    Just an FYI, it would be a nice thing to contact Marcia and ask permission to use her site for the swap. I did on another forum and she was really great but I felt better asking ahead of time to make sure. Good luck with the swap, I'm up to my neck in projects or I would join in.

    The doll quilt is soooo cute! I love your idea with the pinwheels. I love 3-D quilts too! Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

    I'm in the swap too. Just let me know!
