Busy Quilting Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 How many takers did we get for the Spring Block swap? If I get mine before June I might get to piece "the Quilt" during our pyjama retreat. Just need to make the pyjamas first. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBQuilts Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Shannon, Did you post whose blocks you have received? In other words, did you get mine? The postal clerk seemed far too interested in my package!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Janice, it looks like there are 17-19 involved... several with 2 sets. OOPS! I forgot to check if your name is on the list!... be right back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBQuilts Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks Bobbi, I never saw the list. Did Shannon also have a pattern for setting the blocks together? I saw one that she did on her blog that had a large center medallion. I seem to... no, not seem to..., I have trouble getting a setting plan for blocks other than the tipical sashing setting therefore I have many blocks that need to be set together into numerous tops including the 30's swap blocks which by the way, yours was fabulous. I saved it for inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 hey janice- i didn't have a setting designed, but i do for the next swap (with lots of space for creative quilting *wink*) i figure if maybe folks can see what the finished quilt would look like, they'd be more willing to participate. who wants a bunch of blocks then to figure out how to set them... i plan on doing a traditional on-point setting with scrappy cream sashing and green cornerstones. if you like, i'll share the directions... the medallion quilt on my blog was the setting for a BOM from my LQS....

JBQuilts Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Shannon, Thanks a lot. Yes, I would love to have your directions for setting together some blocks. ALL HELP is appreciated. I'm waiting with bated breath to see what you come up with for the next swap!!! Your ideas are always so creative and seem to come so easily to you. Love your gifts and talents! Isn't it a sin to covet? I can't draw and the ideas aren't there even if I could. I have discovered that quilting would be easier if one has some artistic(drawing) ability.

doodlebug Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 okay janice you pick: number one....simple setting with pieced alternate blocks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 or number two with a couple of pieced setting triangles with the border fabric....you'll have to make one more block....it takes 13 (i personally like this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Porch Quilting Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 So Shannon are you saying we can't have both?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBQuilts Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yes Shannon, are you saying I can't have both; because I do have extra blocks of our swap block and I like both of them and can use both. So.......if you're willing to give both, I'll take both. Thank you so much. You are saving another set of blocks from the UFO pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
