These are the last of the blocks I’m making for Chaletgirl’s Block Swap.  They’re not actually due back until the end of September.  I don’t know what came over me with this swap, but I zoomed through the blocks.  A sign of what fun I was having with it!  The first two are for Bronwyn.

The next two are for Leah.

And the final four are for Lynn.

I’d originally been nervous about Lynn’s fabric, worrying how I was going to match the variety of colour and busyness of print.  Surprisingly I came up with quite a few combinations fairly quickly and I’m really pleased with these final choices.

So now what do I do while I wait for my blocks to be returned at the end of October?  Oh that’s right, I start planning for Around the block – a quilting bee!  I’ll get to make all sorts of blocks in all types of prints.  Another massive learning curve!  What type of blocks will I ask everyone to make for me?  At the moment I’m thinking of blocks with points – pinwheels, stars, flying geese blocks.  And I’m hoping to use stash fabric – possibly my Tula Pink Flutterby collection with some others thrown in for good measure.  Huge thanks to Sheridan for running the nine-patch block swap so beautifully and now for getting us going on Around the block!
