Block Exchange Update

We had a nice dinner last evening at Ruths' - and saw progress on some block exchange quilts.
This is rainbow sherbet for Lisa........such pretty colors.......especially nice in February!!

This is Carols' - she is doing the flying geese between these blocks that we are making. Daisy has us building houses. Sorry this picture is not clear.......

We are making flower baskets for Roxie - again, nice to work on some bright colors this time of year!!!

Jan asked for reproduction fabrics in her block. This was the only one.

Dorothy is still somewhere that it is warm and sunny........but she got a lot of blocks last evening.

Louise has us giving her scraps in a labeled bag. She is using "our" scraps to make a couple very scrappy paper pieced blocks.

Eileen provided us with the strips to sew into diamonds for her.

The Michigan birds - robin and bluebird - are what Ruth has made for Phyllis - representing Michigan.

The circles are from Cindy to Ruth who asked us to make something from a St Francis prayer.......Ruth has the "line" on which this block is based.

Deb has rejoined the group this year. We made these blocks for her a few years ago. She wants more blocks so she can make a large quilt for their bed.

She wants an oriental look in the dark blues.

And yes, you've seen this block more recently - I had people do it for a wedding quilt for my niece.

For Beth, we make a nine patch and cut it in half - HOW EASY!!!!!!!!

It's called the disappearing 9 patch when put back together.

These nosegays are for Georgia - very pretty. She has some coordinating fabrics and will set them on point with triple sashing.

These are blocks for me - in a garden theme for a Christmas present.

Another person doing a quilt for relatives is Cindy - looks a lot like carmel coffee to me!!!

Terry is thinking soft and pretty with these little blocks. She brought some pieces to show us how she plans to set them.

Beth brought this finished quilt from a previous exchange - a baby quilt for a co-worker.

Georgia brought this one from a previous exchange as she had just picked it up from a machine quilter. We made oursleves and then traced our hands. Some of the people look just like themselves and others.........well......no explanation needed!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the one with big earrings and red curly hair!!!!!!!!!!
