Is Chele's quilt from jljack called a fracture quilt? I sure like it the colors are great> I always wanted to try one of those. I really line the material she sent you also, very pretty.

.

I think it's sort of like a fracture, but I just winged it from a picture I saw, and I know I didn't get the whole thing right. But we learn with every new thing we try.....next time I'll do this differently, but it came out cute anyway!! I'm so happy Chele likes it.

The last few quilts are just so pretty. Amazing how they just keep getting better and better every month. Can't wait to see what amazing quilters we are in a few months!! :lol: :lol: :wink: :thumbup:

Yay!!! So here is the little quilt that Chele sent me!! It is so sweet. She tells me she loves scrappy quilts, and this one is just great!! She also sent a couple of pieces of fabric, and a very sweet card.

Thanks, Chele!! You are the Partner Supreme as well as the Super Swap Boss!!! ;-)

So far all the quilts are so pretty, love them all.

Nancy in Louisiana 07-12-2010 07:29 PM

smtp5 -- I will probably be over your way for a good part of August taking care of grandbabies while son-in-law is out of country (daughter just going back to work that time from maternity leave). Keep me posted with a pm if you can. I'd love to plan something and meet you.

roseOfsharon 07-12-2010 08:49 PM

Just looked in again to see the added doll quilts! Always a treat to the eyes, to see all the lovely works being produced and admired by all! Love them all! :)

Ohhhhhhhhh, and I too would love a book by Jennifer Chiaverini! I have only found one by her to read, The New Year's Quilt... and it was very good!

oksewglad 07-12-2010 11:13 PM

Love them, love them all.
Got the top finished for laparshall tonight--yipee. Had to get kwiltkrazy's June quilt in the mail today first. Lucinda it should be there by Thursday according to postal worker.

I was out walking in the woods and ran into this moose who decided to move to TN from Canada. Thankyou to OK Darla for sending this charming handsome moose by way for the July Doll Quilt exchange. Love the extra fabric too! Moosegirl

kwiltkrazy 07-13-2010 10:48 AM

So excited Gladie, got a nice place picked out for it. You don't need to post it for me, it wasn't my computer, after all, it was the cord, and I'm up and running. Can't wait, you promise now cows to milk, their little udders were so hard to milk. lol.

jljack 07-13-2010 12:55 PM

Great looking quilts, you all!!! This is one of the best months so far...at least IMHO!!! :-)

Oksewglad: Yikes! I am just finishing my June quilt for Lisa773. Almost done. I will mail this week. And then I will turn my attention to yours, oh wait, I am working on my Round Robin center block it is due 7/26. I will work on both this week and next. No pressure!!! If only I didn't have this pesky full-time job that takes up so much of my time.

TanyaMas 07-13-2010 02:17 PM

i have concluded i am glad its not expected until the 30th lol
i seem to be taking forever lol
the top i decided on was the 5th attempt... i am actually proud of the top :D.. the hand quilting is turning out (ehhh, at half done)... and im debating on taking the binding off to redo it lol
finally figured out what to do about a label today lol.. first time ive needed one lol
so by the looks of it...
Dawn, you will probably get yours closer to the deadline than i had hoped :( im sorry.. I do plan to get a bit quicker less obsessive eventually lol

I really am having fun at it, and has forced me to pay very close attention to EVERY step along the way, and it shows :D

kwiltkrazy 07-13-2010 07:24 PM

Played all today, making letsquilt's DQ, having a ball. Lot of happy accidents. lol.

letsquilt 07-13-2010 07:45 PM

Oh that is so funny, because I played with yours tonite and I sewed 2 areas backwards, now Im ripping it out. LOL!

kwiltkrazy 07-13-2010 08:08 PM

Letsquilt, happy accidents? I hope you are having fun.

I only said I had the topdone--need to quilt it--hope you don't mind that it's not hand quilted (have trouble with arthritis in the hands)--then to get the binding on. So believe me there's no pressure here! Oh and the 13th was DIL BD and I have bindings to sew on her 2 little quilts and get those in the mail. Good things come to those who wait!! G

So glad you have posting capabilities back. I am anxious to get your reaction. I'll be watching and waiting, too dear friend.

Oksewglad: I do not mind it not being hand quilted. I would love to do hand quilting also, but I have the same problem with my hands. I sure don't mind waiting, especially if it is going to be good! Linda
