Great swap partner. I sent yours yesterday.
Thanks so much to Purmela and to the board for their hard work and diligence.

Just a reminder to everyone. . .
If you are behind in sending blocks, please communicate with your partner about it so they know they have not been totally abandoned. If you feel you need a month off to catch up, please let me know and we can do that rather than having people get further and further behind and end up with unhappy partners. We all know unexpected circumstances can arise, but please communicate and then follow through, or PM me for a short time-out. Please "play fair."
If you have still not received your June or July or August block, please let me know right away.
Thanks :thumbup:

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. The "Quilter's Block Bible" calls the top one Four-Patch Weave. You are supposed to use two different colors for the points and have them "interweave" in the center and the small squares are a separate color. But, since I only had a remnant of the piece I used in the center, I made the points all one color and made the center a single block. Also, I used that fabric for the small squares.

The second block is similar to Clay's Choice, but that has the pinwheel points in the second block and the solid dark blocks on the corner. I don't know if this block has it's own name or not. I sometimes think there is only one quilt block and everything else is just a variation of it!

Oh Jacquie, I'm so glad you like your blocks. What a nice idea of yours to also send post cards of where one lives. I received your blocks today and they are WONDERFUL! Can't believe all the work you put into them. They are super and the one with the muffins around the teapot is sooo cute! Thank you sew much also for the letter telling me about you and your family. You do indeed sound like a busy group. Keep up the good work, it will keep you young! I will post pics in a day or two, a little under the weather today, hope this dizziness goes away very soon, had it for two days now and am tired of it. I am so lucky to be getting such wonderful "tea" blocks. Thanks again.
Love, Pat

I also received my block from KR Karen today. What beautiful fabrics in this block! A very nice layout of the faric too. I love it, it will be so neat with my other blocks. Thanks Karen, and yours finally went out today. Had DH take it to the PO to make sure it was in the mail this time. Thanks again, and ditto my other post, I'll get pics up as soon as possible. What a geat day it was, receiving two sets of blocks, one from Scotland and one from the USA.
This is the best idea of a swap I think, such fun to receive a block or two each month! Thanks MadeinMaine for all of your hard work!

I have been a member of this group since late July and received beautiful blocks. These artists deserve recognitation. I hope I can upload photos. It worked Yippee. I did extra swaps.

Top 2 are from abonda (she designed these. She is an artist) from Boston Mass. My DH is a lifelong Boston redsox fan and loved this.

How beautiful - all of the blocks look like they were made by artists - doesn't it just make you smile to be the recipient of such treasures?
