MY STARTER BLOCK

Well here we go. This is the starter block I'm using for SummerSadie's Around the World Swap. I had to change the burgandy color at the last minute. I had enough for my quilt and one more then cut wrong and had to use up that last square. But I still like this just as well. It's just slightly darker than the previous.

I looked at some one the ladies blogs and starters blocks - hope I'm not over my head here. But we shall see soon enoough. I mailed out my starter this morning to Texas and am waiting on Anita's from Cape Coral. The fun begins. I'll keep you posted.

WORLD BLOCK SWAP

Well I tried something new today. I signed up for a world block swap. I hope I understood the directions but if not I'm sure they'll be glad to help me out. Quilters are always so much nicer than the average folk.

In this swap I'll make a block and send it to the next in line. She will make a block she thinks looks nice with it, sew them together and send it along to the next. This keeps going thru 20 members so after # 20 it's back to me with 20 blocks all joined together and made by 20 different people. Since there are 20 in the swap they'll also send me theirs and I'll add a block of my choice. Boy I'm glad I bought that accucut Go Cutter. Sounds like I'm going to be busy. I'll keep you posted and put pics and the blocks as they come to me and what I added.
