Muse, your block for Marija is so pretty. I love those grayish greens with her print.

Marija, it's best if you stick with the 12.5" size, so the bonus blocks can be used with the other blocks. Of course, they are not a requirement, just something extra out of the goodness of your heart... So, that being said, you can do anything you want for an extra. (Or no extra.) They just will be harder to use with the others if they are a different size.

We've always made only 12 1/2 inch unfinished blocks. Should you make a block of another size, I don't know how it would fit into the others. I'd say we should keep to 12 1/2 inches for the purposes of this swap.

Got to get out of the house today and the little fabric store 12 miles from my destination had fat quarters for a dollar each! 16 fat quarters for 16 bucks! I loved the browns. Contemplating what color to pair them with. Contemplation can take a while, I think I'll make a spot for them on my fat quarter shelf.

I love love love ❤️ all the blocks. Not sitting idle here, made 1 and 7/8 quilt tops. The 7/8 is waiting for a piece of border fabric to arrive. I have a 13X8" piece left & need at least a quarter of a yd. Don't worry, have not been wasting my time on housework. Trying to convince DH we need outside help & I'm doing my best to keep convincing evidence piling up around him! ;) :shock: :thumbup:

Nice fabric GramE great deal to boot!
I found my next boom fabric. It has a white background and lots of different colored flowers. It is light and happy and airy.

Great score on the FQs, GramE! What a fun sale. Will you be back next time we BOOM?

Kass, I have my next fabric purchased and waiting, too. :p

I wasn't even looking, this just jumped out at me. It was to good a deal to pass up on, and I really like the print / colors.

Great fabrics GramE, like Sewwbiz hope this means you will be feeling well enough to participate in the next swap

No new fabric here, de stash is the name of the game and I'm sticking to it. That is until everyone starts showing their pretty fabrics I will probably cave in and run out and buy new. :o

Kassaundra 03-10-2017 06:35 AM

That was my original plan, de stashing, oh well maybe the boom after next I will get around to de stashing! lol

Most of the fabrics I sent this time were from my stash. I have been cleaning out and organizing (yet again) my fabric and found a few oddball pieces that I just may send out.....But I won't be getting anything new for the swap. Now that doesn't mean I won't get fabric to match for you!!
