Okay - this is the test block (came out a bit "wonky" --- in too much hurry i guess - and the instructions will have to be rewritten to complete the block shown (ripper is my friend today! lol )) I think it will be a beautiful swap block! what do y'all think?

Suzi, very pretty. Looks difficult. Is this for a BOM or charity quilt or one of your own?

I really like this block, it works very nice with patriotic theme Glad I am not the only one that has a few re-do's to get it right. Never would have guessed by finished product.

Re: Lots to learn here!

If this is done in patriotic colors/themes....I'd love to be part of the swap!!!

You did a terrific job on the block, Suzi!!

Re: Lots to learn here!

I'm definitely interested. I'll be back in the states for the month of June, so I could get mine done and in the mail before heading back to the UK.

I'd love to try joining a block swap but this looks too difficult for me.

Re: Lots to learn here!

excellent Mary & Rebecca - this swap will be limited to 16 players - i have the fabric measurements figured out if you want to go ahead and get started let me know and i can email the instructions as they are now. YAY! Nancy - watch for the summer swap.... it will be perfect for fast fun easy swapping following one of Jenny's awesome tutorials!!

Re: Lots to learn here!

Looks kind of challenging, are there inset seams?

Re: Lots to learn here!

I'd love to start now since my LQS will be getting in all their patriotic prints anytime now....you can send me the instructions to

msunderstood_one (at) yahoo dot com

If you would, could you put quilt block, or something quilt related in the subject line just in case it gets sent to my junk mail I will be able to find it easier.
I like the idea of only doing 16 blocks...doesnt seem so overwhelming this way!

Thanks so much!!
