quilt addict

You all have very nice blocks and so fast. I am not sure if I can join in but was initially thinking of doing blocks from the Fat Quarter Shop quilt you showed. It is a UFO in my stash, just waiting to find the right border fabric. I will have to measure the size of the blocks and see if they work or adjust them.

I still have blocks to finish for the Jade group BOOM due next month.

Cute block red I all all the differnt blocks and variety of fabrics the quilts everyone make are going to be awesome.

Quilt addict you should join this is actually easier than the boom swap 6 sets of 4 blocks each it's easier and faster to make 4 of the same thing from the same fabric than 4 differnt blocks from 4 different fabrics. Also being able to make differnt sized blocks means you have even more choices. Plus while we would I love for you to make 6 different sets I'm pretty sure it's not a requirement.

Everyone is so far ahead of me. I'm still working on Halloween. But, I guess I have plenty of time for the winter swap.

You do have lots of time klaws. Don't get flustered I need to stay ahead of my swappers so I can keep better track of what is going on with the swap threads, member sign-ups and the blocks received as we go along. You see?

I am working on a Christmas tree right now. It is coming out better than I even thought it would just winging my design as I go. I just finished the tinsel draping the tree in a red machine embroidery pattern from the built in's on the bernina. I promised myself to use more of my machine's functions this year. I have two more to stitch out and then it will be to figure out the outside border. I am thinking to make it look like a window frame looking to the inside of the room. I was going to put bubble lights on it, but, we will see.

It really sounds interesting, Red. Can't wait to see it.

Ask and you shall receive! LOL... I just finished them. I couldn't think of how to add the bubble lights, but I put the garland on for you girls to decorate them yourselves. OK? I am thinking specialty buttons or just buttons after it is quilted. This one is 9 1/2" x 12 1/2".

Now I am working on a snow themed block.

Love your tree Red. Very creative. And, I love the idea of our being able to decorate our way. What a fantastic idea!

I am just checking in. I am going to finish up my blocks this week for the Halloween Swap and then I will be able to join you over here in the Holiday Swap. I can't wait to get started. I have so many ideas buzzing around, just waiting to get out.

If anyone is on the fence about joining, please, get off! Come join all the fun. It's just like Christmas when you receive your beautiful, fun blocks. The best surprise ever when it arrives.

And, I can't sing the praises enough of our wonderful host. She's one of the best. So, don't miss out on all the fun. Putting these quilts together is a little like playing Tetris. Only when your done, you get the best gift ever. All your cyber friends will have contributed to a big cyber hug straight to your door.
