Ah... employee discounts! Watch out. :shock:

Nice blocks, sewbizgirl. Not exactly sure what I'm doing with yours, yet. But thinking about using solid red and solid Kona black. Unless, you'd rather us not use black?!?! Does your son in law know you're making him a quilt or will it be a surprise? Either way, I'm sure he'll be thrilled.



[QUOTE=sewbizgirl;7743376]While I'm waiting fonlr swap fabrics I played a little bit with some blocks for my own quilt. Here are two I've done:

I'm asking for the red, the gray, or the black in the print... anything but white because I will sash it in white. No, my son in law has no clue this quilt is in the works for him. He's going to be so surprised! His birthday isn't til Oct., so I'll have it ready in plenty of time for him. Thanks!

Thanks bootsy. You are going to have so much fun with this swap. This is only my second swap, and last time I only joined one group. I was so excited that I ROARED through all my blocks in like 2 weeks... and then had to just sit on my hands while the rest of group(s) kept making theirs. So, pace yourself! :D

Great looking blocks showbiz, going to have to think on your fabric a bit more

I have The top of the quilt finished for baby Liam, hoping to glue baste the 3 layers together today and quilt it tomorrow. Will need to finish it when we get back from vacation before starting the boom blocks.
