This is the block we are doing for the third green block exchange. see picture. Blocks need to be 12 1/2" X 12 1/2". May need to use a scant 1/4" seem(less than 1/4" is called a scant)

Exchange 1

I couldn't stand to let these babies sit any longer. I played with them for a couple of weeks trying to come up with a combination of all three exchanges that I liked. No luck. No matter what I did, I was unhappy with the patterns created. The stars looked great with the blue blocks. The blue blocks looked great with the white blocks. But the stars with the white blocks just didn't look right to me. Finally the light bulb lit and I decided to make several smaller quilts out of the blocks. I decided to separate the blocks from the stars and I'm a happy camper now.

DONE!

Some did not show up as dark as they should be. Not sure why. Light from the window? Maybe because of the dark blocks close to the lighter green blocks. But they are done and going out on Monday

My green blocks are being sent in 5/7

green block exchange

A couple of people have dropped out of the green block exchange.   For those of you who have already mailed your blocks, I will mail the extra blocks back to you.  If you haven't mailed your blocks yet, you might want to wait till next week and see if anyone else joins or drops out of the exchange.  As of right now, the count is at 8.

Green blocks arrived

 I thought I would start a post to let everyone know when their green blocks arrive.

Today, I received Trinda's!  They look GREAT!!!!

Finally finished. Made a couple of extras since the exchange is still open. Per Pam's suggestion I'm holding off on sending until after 4/30 when the exchange is closed and we'll know the final count needed.

 

On to Nina's block now.

99.99% perfect points....

I did not worry about the seams to much. I matched the points up with a pin. The I stitched the seem. It all came out ....hard to type it to explain it.....when you open and press it lines up.

green exchange block

The block will be Comforts of Home, in scrappy greens, only the sections around the 9-patch will be reversed (in color) so there will be a white square around the 9-patch.  I will try to post a picture tomorrow if I can get a block made!   But let me know if you will be participating so I can get an accurate count.  Blocks will be due the end of May (or whenever completed) and will be mailed to me at:  Pam Artman, please send Pam a private message and she will send you her address. We do not want to post address to the public.

Thanks!
