MELINDA....you know I'm on board. I already have my square ready.....my avatar square.....

What size is that block? I love it. Also what's it called?

It is Interlocked squares. This one was my 1st attempt. I redid it better the second time and sent it off to a swap partner. I kept this one cause I just love how it looks....it is a twelve inch block....

Well I love the way it looks

I'd be interested in doing another one :)
Also, I received DragonflyNana's top yesterday. Time to start thinking about what to do!

Cruising-your group's rounds are just beautiful!

All of your tops are really coming out beautiful. Great job!!!

I was so excited to get on tonight to post my addition to Melinda's top - thinking I was done early. To my chagrin I realized that I am actually late.:( My apologies to all - it is going to Alikat in tomorrow's mail.

I hope you like what I came up with Melinda. It really is straight - I had to splice two different pictures together to show the whole top at once. The second pic is a close up of the detail of the pieced blocks. What is not showing up well is that I used gray in the tiny star blocks.

Ohhhhhhhhh I love love love it ladies. SazuBMidlands could you send me your personal email. We have five signed up so far but have asked a sixth. I figure we could start after this rounds are over.

Melinda - I meant to thank you for the invitation but I just can't do another one right now. Too many personal obligations in the coming months.

Just checking in and wanted to let you know I received Alikat's top from SazuBMidlands today.

Melinda...I recieved your top. Boy is it looking good....you might not get it back...hehehe. just kidding. Can't wait to start working on it. Dragonfly...glad mine got to you safely. Mine from the second group is missing and I won't be getting a completed top from them.....oh well! At least it was not this one that got lost.Any chance you could post a picture. I would love to see the progress.

Ohhhhhhh. When your done Alikat I will have you send it to Themamahauser so she can put a row on it.

Alikat - this is what it looks like so far. SazuBMidlands posted this one about a week ago. What is hard to see is that the outer background is a very pale green (it looks white in the pic).

Now to figure out what to add for my round.......

That pale green I bet looks spectacular. This group has been amazing to work with. Thank you ladies.

Thanks Dragon fly.....I think I did see it. Sorry! I haven't even got to start on this round. Better get my butt in gear. Found a great turqouise, but I do not have enough purple. Shucks...gonna have to shopping. Probably tommorrow!

No problem Alikat = pictures are always good to share. Sorry that you have to go shopping - I hope you have fun doing it.
Don't feel bad about not starting yet - neither have I as I have a couple of "due by" things that come earlier. This is due June 1 and I will make that date - besides, it gives me more time to stew on what would be just right for this round.

If you have any thoughts on that , please feel free to share them with me.:)

Well...Nexxus.....hope you like this. Will be mailing on Monday or Tuesday. I really love this entire quilt.
Hmmmm...really dark pics. Will attempt to get better ones outside tomorrow!

Alikats this is beautiful.

Thanks. ...very simple to do! The entire quilt -each round- just simply works! It just may "get lost in the mail"....hehehe.....

K....here is better pictures....

Alikat - that looks great! This second set of pics really shows it off well.

I finished my addition to Alikat's center last night....
It is raining here so I had to take pics indoors and could only get about 1/2 in the picture
Putting in the post today.

Ooooh! I am in love with my quilt. Can't wait to get it!!!! I haven't made it to the post office this week due to tight work and kid schedule. Off tomorrow, sew promise to get it in then....

Yummy. Love it.

Hello Ladies. We were to ship the last round in June so let's check in please. Here is what I think the standings are:
Alikat's top is home with her
Nexxus' top is home with her (or sent on to Kelly as requested)
Lestrong's top is with Nexxus (?)
Sazu's top is with Lestrong
Dragonfly's top is with Sazu

Yes I have Sazu's

Hello everyone, I just wanted to say that all the quilts are fabulous. after looking in just to see how these RRs work I want you all to know how beautiful and creative the quilts are. I am glad I looked in to watch and will be waiting for the finished show.
peace

Thanks ube quilting - this is a great bunch of ladies.

Yes, I have Dragonfly's. I have got the border on now. I'll try to photograph it tomorrow. I won't be able to get to the post office until Wednesday though I'm afraid. Sorry I'm running so late with this one.
However in other news I've been offered a new job which I should start at the end of next month, which with substantially reduce my commute (by around 3 hours a day!), and so hopefully will increase my available quilting time in future!

Oh - Congratulations Sazu! A long commute is quite difficult - so happy for you.
No worries about the shipping-take all the time you need. (I can say that because it is my top!)
I just needed to do a check in to make sure everyone was still active.

Nexxus, can you confirm receipt of top I sent? Have not heard if your mom received it....

Uhmmmm.... want to say.....was just kidding about it getting lost in the mail. Hope it got to destination safely.

So I packaged the top up... and then forgot to actually post it and instead buried it under something else. It is now in the mail, but was only posted yesterday. Sorry for the delay. Hopefully it'll get to you soon.
I managed to get a couple of pictures on my phone, although the colours aren't true - its a bit dark. Its also a little wider than my desogn board. I returned to the centre for inspiration, adding on point squares. Hope you like it. :)

Oh Sazu - I love how you brought the darker colors back. Thank you for a perfect finish. I will let you know as soon as it arrives.

My top made it home today. :thumbup: Thank you ladies for all your hard work. I know my work neighbor is going to love it - once I get it quilted.

That is a beautiful top. So! Now for my weird story for Nexus regarding her top. Yes! I mailed it some time ago, not sure of exact date...anyway, Melinda and I texted and spoke last weekend. Her mom never got it. I searched friday for the receipt, but did not find. Saturday, I went to PO seeking help. Here is where I have mixed feelings about customer service at the post office....the PO attendant knows who I am by sight, just because I am a fairly regular customer and we frequently discuss my quilting. (Good). They PO had a package that was "damaged" before it even left their building. See the first picture! Because she knew who I was, when they decided to open package to check contents, she knew it was mine. Unfortunately, she did not know my name or address, just has always been friendly chit chat. Long story short....when I went in, she immediately asked me about a "missing package". I about fainted that she knew!!!! (GREAT). Unfortunately, she did not have a clear explanation about what happened! (Relevant? Maybe not in the grand scheme, but sure am curious! ) I have not joined any other swaps, so had not been in in some time, she had been waiting for me to come in. Another good thing, she had gone in to work that morning,due to other staff member being sick ( What Luck!). So now, pic of box and contents....
Melinda, this will spoil my surprise I was sending to you and you mom, but best news is minimal damage to contents of package. I WILL remail this weekend. Please forgive me this huge delay. Due to the mostly great customer service, I will still use the PO....I have faith!

The fabrics are musty and stained. Looks like probable coffee spill??? Two of the books papers also got wet and papers stuck together. Other books and your quilt top was unharmed. I thank God for this blessing!

Oh so do I. I sent you a text with what to do

Oh and pleased send it all musty and stained we don't mind at all it has a story and journey behind it
