MONTHLY QUILTING BEE BLOCK SWAP - Version II
#4461
I had to share... I did an extra swap with lisalisa and her theme is the music group "Counting Crows". I'm a country music gal so I didn't know their music. She gave me a challenge and off I went and did my research. They have a song called Angels in America (Don't know what is sounds like). An Idea popped in my head and this is what I came up with. I love a challenge and when my creative juices flow LOL.

That said, I like where you went with it so I'm glad I didn't lead you down any particular path.
I really love having you all involved in this. There is no way I could have such a diverse perspective. The crows have so many visuals in their songs to play from. It's gonna be the coolest quilt EVAH!

I have had TERRIBLE computer problems lately! :cry: I was infected with a virus that corrupted a bunch of my files, and MANY of my pictures. Unfortunately, this has not only made me fall way behind on posting pics of the wonderful blocks I have been receiving, but I also seem to have fallen behind on PMing to let you know I have received your blocks. The virus is no excuse for this oversight / lack of consideration, and I am SOOOOOO SORRY!!!!
I think I have finally gotten the virus removed now. I have lost the information on who sent me some blocks, and I confess to being too lazy to go through all the hundreds of pages to see which I have posted, so here are all the wonderful blocks I have received during the April and May swaps.
If I have mis-labeled your blocks, or not included your name, please forgive me! If you PM me and let me know, I will gladly fix it! This whole computer virus mess has made me a mental wreck!!! :oops: :cry:
btw.... even with all the trouble this darn computer virus has caused, I consider myself VERY LUCKY ~ aren't these blocks all FABULOUS?!?!?!

On a brighter note, I said a few pages ago that I would not "take a bow" yet for the paper piecing. Well.......
Now I will! :D
I have 2 completed blocks that will be going out in tomorrow's mail. They are far from perfect, and I am still learning, but I now consider myself a Paper Piecer, rather than a lousy OBW. :lol:
p.s. I still have a lot to learn about PP, but I am even worse at modifying templates than I am at PP for now. :cry: I could not get my printer to make the template for the whirly-gig star the right size, so I drew up my own.... now the outer points don't make points any more. Will have to do more modifi-cations on my templates before I make more of them.
Now I will! :D
