Elisa's Block

Hi Elisa,

I finally have your block done and it is in the mail.  Hope it travels south faster than your package travelled north! :)

My concussed brain had a "gap" when I was making Elisa's block and I cut the fabric wrong.  But I think I found a pink that matches pretty closely to the purple.  I hope you're happy with it Elisa.

San-Dee must be still recuperating from the wedding.  :)  Or has anyone else heard from her?

May and June Blocks

 

Swap blocks are done for both May and June.  Here are my four for Melina.  They are not sewn together, just put up next to each other on the board for the picture.  I won't cut them apart before I mail them so you can decide how you want to use them.  This was fast and easy once I cut me a 6 1/2" circle template.  (I am the worst at cutting out circles free hand)  I really like the way these look and may have to make me a black and white bull's-eye quilt.  I can't wait to see how she uses all  these blocks in her quilt.  Whether she keeps them whole or chops them up.  Also, how she incorporates the red fabric.  Melina, you will have to keep us updated on this one. 

 



 

 

Here is my  block for Elisa.  I made it before we got the posting to use any scraps for the background and not just blue.  I pulled several blues out and once I cut them the correct size - and also figured out how to make the corner blocks - this block went together really, really fast.  

 

I can't wait to see what everyone else has lined up for us to make the rest of this year.  I can't decide what I want to do when it's my turn, but I have until October to make up my mind since my month is November.  Do I have you make seasonal blocks or something entirely generic since I may not get them all back until the new year?  Decisions, decisions.  Are the rest of you going through this process, also?
