February Update

I am so sorry for the lack of posting of the amazing blocks I've gotten back! So far 8 have been returned and they are absolutely perfect!! When I have them near me I'll take pictures of each (some of the fabric that has been swapped in is just adorable).

I am currently pregnant and expecting our first child this April. A little over a week ago I was put in bed rest. Which means I'm not going to get to finish the little girls quilt before she arrives. I promise to keep up with my blocks (come hook or crook)!

For Carolyn and Christina!

Carolyn-this quilt block has been on my "want to try" list for quite some time now.  Thanks for the opportunity to do it - I truly loved it.  I also love the fabrics you sent...it's great how they all end up going together even though they don't look like they would.  I cannot wait to see your blocks come together (side note/thought: anyone complete their projects from last year's bee blocks?  Would love to see pictures!).  I went to the post office today, but didn't send your block - the line was a mile long and only one clerk working and because it's going to Canada I can't use the auto ship thing to send it..will try again hoping for a smaller line!



Christina-this was my first time doing a disappearing 9-patch as well.  It was so quick and fun to figure out how I wanted to rearrange it!  I also look forward to seeing your blocks come together, it will be fun to see how everyone chose to lay them out!  Your block should be arriving by the weekend!

Cheers!

February block for Christina

This is the second 12 1/2" block I have cut and resewn to supposedly get a 12 1/2 " block. That does not compute in my brain. DH says do as you were told and stop feening about the math. So I did!
I really like this block!

Carolyn and Christina's Blocks!

LOL, I have to smile because both these blocks were easy and challenging.  I love how they both turned out.

Carolyn, you asked not for us to square it down, so I haven't - wasn't sure if you wanted a 12 1/2" block:
And Christina, I love the whooville red you gave me to use:

Both will go into the mail Monday!

Block for Carolyn

Your block gave me fits because it was so easy it was difficult. Mathematically it didn't make sense to me at all which probably my major problem. But thank you for this block b/c it tested my skills...especially cutting skills. I hope that you can use it in your quilt.
