With an odd number of members this month I took up the challenge of 2 swaps in the 6 inch group.
My first partner Larissa is saving pin wheels so I had fun playing around with my new foundation piecing skills to make a couple of pin wheels with a twist. Larissa was looking for brights, I certainly think these are bright enough.
My second partner for the month is new member Janet from Canada - who requested Cathy's campfire in reds, oranges and yellows. I used some batik fabric (in one of the blocks) as it looked like flames to me. I hope the Canadian postal strike is over and these find there way to you soon.
I had fun making blocks for both of these swaps - as they are all blocks I have never made before. This is what I love most about swapping. You get to make blocks you have never done before is colours that are out of your normal scope or style.
I love these blocks! I haven't had any experience with 6" blocks yet. I've only been doing the 12 1/2" unfinished. I sent an email inquiring about the group. I have done multiply swaps and really enjoy them. :)
ReplyDeleteMy blog has blocks that I have made if you are interested in checking them out. :) I hope maybe in the future I can be a part of your group if you will allow me to be. :)
Quilty Hugs,
