Wanted to share this with all of my fellow swappers. After the swaps are done, we have all these little pieces of fabric. I have decided what to do with them. I did a tutorial for this block under X Marks the Spot under "Tutorials" section. I plan on just making miles and miles of strips and make another quilt out of all my little leftovers.

not too fond of the border -- it needs to be a bit more planned. Next one!

What a terrific idea! To use leftovers. I may make a scrappy Irish chain.

finished first top! and I have to say I really love it, thanks to you all :thumbup: ..There is one square that was still out and that will go on the back in the center...
Now I have to wait for my last 10 blocks to come in. I suspect I will not get them done as quickly!

For some reason this fabric returned pretty fast. I will not have much time in one more month for personal projects so am trying to keep current. (fat chance lol).

this is going in my master bedroom..yum

I was trying to pull out the white in the middle of the quilt to the outsides. Hopefully, I think it works.

Has everyone else, except bolin0909, received theirs, as the last of mine went out by 6th July?

I received block yesterday! Thank you! Love it!

I am working on f8's but very slowly. Sorry all...I will try to get all blocks done by deadline. I will post as soon as some are ready to be mailed. It's taking me 2-3 days to finish a darn block when i can whip at least 3 blocks in a day but DH hurt his back...so I am juggling my time with DH, house, animals and contractors.

I did mail 2 blocks out but forgot who I mailed to...I forgot to log that down!*sigh*.

Will keep everyone posted.
