Marlette Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 AW geez, wish I could do this one but I've got 2 king sized quilts to do this summer. One is paper pieced wedding rind with appliqued flower border. The other is a spiral medallion design like the ones in Renae Merrill's Spiral Quilts book. Have fun gals.

Blue Wren Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 You are a clever little vegemite Teresa for thinking up the rules for this swap P:P That Aussie saying should have a few people scratching their heads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Well maybe....but I was told the vegemite was a bit salty....and it was an aquired taste for us non-Aussies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewingjunky Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 This summer is a bit too soon for me to get them done. I don't want to be left out of the next one though. I do want to do more exchanges, but I have a hard time following all of the different posts and threads that get posted. Sometimes I get a bit lost. So are these normally posted under the "birthday block". Maybe someday we could do one that is the same blocks but all different fabrics, that would be kind of cool. Like all brights done in a particular block. looking at the blocks pictured above they look gorgeous as they are layed out too! I wish you all the best, and I definately want in next time, I have had such fun with the 30s and thank you so much Teresa for organizing this one.

sewingjunky Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I wanted to ask for your advise with me doing just a fabric exchange. I wish I had the time to join you ladies, I had such fun with the 1930's. I will play again next time! Teresa, if you would email me I would really appreciate it. I don't know some of the technical things about the boards. Thanks Brendalee:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busy Quilting Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 So those hotter colours to warm up the cooler months. I'm in and I've already got the black backgrounds set to go. Just sorting through the fabrics for the Fall/Autumn toned fabrics. May not all be the same block, as I have found some orphans of the right colours to add black too.

mskazooli Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Ah, Shannon, you are my hero! I can't even get started on mine till I get home, which is next Wednesday. But I have my pattern picked out and printed (for paper piecing!). On black background, of course. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
