FInally some pictures of quilt blocks

I have been trying to get things done. Here are two blocks for the Block Lotto blog. I don't think the green shows up very lime but it is. This was a fun learning experience but one of my reeds looks a little pregnant. :) Here are some 5 inch I spy squares. This is the third I spy swap I have joined. I have started 3 quilts and only completed one, but I love arranging and re arranging the blocks.

Finally I have completed these blocks for a swap over on the Quilting Board. It is called the Great Mini Block swap. Each of these blocks finishes at 4 1/2 inches. The patterns come from Sentimental Stitches. This is a really amazing pattern resource. I have printed all 92 and hope to do most of them. Maybe in modern fabrics though.

I spy Swap, Design Wall, and a finished top

Well I have joined another I spy swap. Katie at fabrikatesdesigns is hosting this one. I have signed up for two sets. Here is set one: And here is set two:

I got all of these at different LQS (I have three in my area) and one at Joann's but it is so cute.

Here is what is on my design wall. I showed this during the Friday Sew In. I chose the sashing and border fabric. I haven't chosen a ninth block but I will. It has been fun looking on Quilter's Cache for all the possibilities.

And finally the Red White and Blue No Sew Swap blocks. This top is finished I have pieced the back and it will be heading to the quilters soon. Yeah!

Photographic Evidence

I love when I see the term fabric porn because sometimes that is what it feels like. I love to look at fabric. These are the two layer cakes that I ordered. I am going to do the pinwheel quilt along with Rachel at ps i quilt. I ordered a bunch of Kona cotton from Joann's (it was 50% off) I haven't deided what the background color is going to be yet (white, pink, or red)

Here are my I spy block packets. I organized them into 10 squares in each packet so the coordinator has an easier time of sorting them. I can't wait to get my 200 I spy blocks back.

Here is another block swap I am involved with. It is a building block swap. I chose a General Store. I am going to put an ICE freezer on the front porch and a barrel maybe a mail box and perhaps a rocking chair.

Well I am off to a high school swim meet. I always walk around with an extra layer on compared to everyone else but at the meet I finally get warmed up and shed a couple layers. It's great. Enjoy your Friday everyone.

Another Swap

I know. I know. I am involved in too much. (this is my conscience speaking to me)

But I couldn't resist. This I-SPy block swap looks so easy. All I have to do is find 10 fabrics and cut 20 4" squares out of each then mail it to her and I will get 200 4" squares back. Some of mine and 190 from others. So I signed up. I stopped by my local quilt shop and got 4 fabrics. Aren't the owls great. Now I just have to find 6 more. Easy peasy :)
