chickenscratch Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I thought I'd go ahead and start the topic since some of you have mailed out your blocks. Here are the first 7 I have made. They are numbered so the first 7 people on my list can choose which one they want. SO... BArb Goodson, Saundra Marquis, Trish McComas, Susan Ramey, Lyn Crump, Pam Hish, Pamela Sperling.... choose one or tell me what color you want instead of one of these. I want to mail the first 7 out on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boni Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'm sorry to have to post this, but I'm a little of a scatter brain and I need to get this out of my head. I'm trying to stay on top of the postings and progress, but in the event I miss something, I hope no one will be offended. I am planning to finish my blocks sometime in the next month and THEN I will contact the people on my list. I will post when I receive a block from someone else, that's the fun part. I will make a few extra blocks in case I miss someone or someone has dropped out or one gets lost, or life happens. I just had to say that so that no one will worry where I am or what's happening in my arena. I want this to be a pleasant experience with no worries. How am I doing? Thanks to Teresa, and thank you to all the participants! It's a lot of work, but the rewards are so worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maree Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi, I have finished my blocks and am posting them this week.

Cindy, Kristie, Marylyn, Celia, Sue, Denise, Laura, April, Marlette, Karen, Gerri, Brenda, Holly, Diane, Merry Jo, and Nadia, you should all get your blocks soon. This has been such a fun project. Thankyou Teresa. Bonnie, I am on your list of people to send blocks to, so am looking forward to that. Hope all is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirabelle Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi Bonnie If memory serves me correctly we had until May to have the blocks finished and sent out. A few of us just got so excited that we couldn't contain ourselves, and we had the time to make them before the New Year and life got crazy once again. I think I am on your list so I look forward to receiving my block from you Karen PS You're doing great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I totally echo, Karen....those of us who have gotten our blocks done, know that right now its maybe a minor lull in our lives so we jumped in to get them done so that we (I) won't be the one at the tail end feeling guilty that I just need to get one more block done and then I'm done. My reasoning was get it done get it out of the way and enjoy the rest of the project.....its so fun getting the blocks, but in my case sometimes its just is a hassle to get them made. Had the opporunity to finish before Thankgiving and took it....I never know what's going to happen day to day... I love the fact that we can make 16 blocks all the same...and not have to worry about color schemes...that one really didn't work well for me. Oh, I added to my stash, but now what do I do with it....(don't worry it will be used, but I have to admit there are colors and fabrics that I wouldn't normally have boughten or thought to use) Teresa puts so much work into these events that I just didn't want to let her or others down....it was just easier for me to take the two days needed to get them cut and done, and then sit back and not worry about them. I've been in the past the one at the end of the time period and was stressing over the deadline and stressing that I would let others down...so this time I decided I would even surprise myself.:cool: I have enough stress I don't need to self add to it. So Boni, you are just fine..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Boni - No worries for you. Your doing just fine. I agree with Bonnie & Karen, I just had the time and wanted to stay busy----so I just got mine done early. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I too have mine finished, but am waiting to the New Year to post them. I had some spare time and I know that I am busy from January on so finishing them early works better for me. My surprises will all come as I receive these little Overseas parcels - keeping them all in the one spot ready for later construction - must find myself another basket! What type of fabric did they use to back quilts in the 1930's? Enjoying this experience already. Thank you Teresa. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'm so excited and impressed with all of your blocks! I've been off-line for a while, as I am buried in this house I'm rehabbing for re-sale. I hoped to be right up there with you all but it looks like it'll be mid January before I can get them done! I'm soo happy so many of you are on top of it and have them done! I think this will be the BEST exchange of all of them! Bonnie! SASHING, BORDERS, ETC. That's what you can use your stash for! or backing! How kool is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only was there a beautiful Clay's Choice block, but a wonderful magazine and a map of the area where she lives. THANKS Karen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberta Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi everyone, I have finished two blocks. I had real trouble finding the real pastely fabrics and the blocks I chose have a large variety so I wanted to post these pictures and see if any of you have a problem with any of the fabrics I am using or do you think they are okay? I picked all the bright fabrics out of the collection I bought and then did all the cutting, but when I started making the blocks some looked a little darker than others so I thought I would check with you all because if there is one you think is too bright you can let me know and I can replace it with one that fits your scheme. Here are the ladies on my list. Laura Hendrickson, Susanne Hughes, Rita Kipatrick, Maree Ratcliff, Cindy Lowe, Kristie Watson, Marylynn Jones, Celia Swan, Sue O'Brien, Denise Cornett, Laura Kroeker, April Wright, Marlette Lousin, Karen Bennet, Gerri Smit, and Nadia Wilson. - If any of you ladies have a problem with any of the fabrics can you let me know which one so I can replace it with another. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusmaulk Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Karen, I received your beautiful block today. Thank you for the Australian patchwork magazine and the other materials you sent with it! How thoughtful of you. My blocks are finished also. I need to get them signed and ready to mail. Some of my fabrics actually are old fabrics, not reproductions. I found them (yards) at a thrift store and got them for a ridiculously low price. Funny what is so valuable to us means nothing to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
