Six 12 inch Jacob's Ladder blocks
made from some of the 4.5 inch HSTs and 4 Patches swapped with some of the members of the Block Swappers Yahoo Group.
Even though I'm an old lady, I don't swap blocks made of "old lady" fabrics. I usually make the wild ones. And this quarter most of my blocks to swap have a jungle theme. (I felt like monkeying around ).
At Block Swappers we also swap 3 inch 9 patches quarterly. I'm always on the lookout for fabrics with a small things printed on them. I made a Sister's Choice quilt out of these little 9Ps last year. After that I started using them in a couple of Jack's Chain quilts.
Join up with Block Swappers Yahoo Group if you like swapping 4 patches, HSTs and/or little 9 patches AND if you don't mind some weird fabrics once in awhile.
There's also a swap going on now for 4 inch 4Ps and 4 inch HSTs in Civil War repro fabrics. I need to get moving on those!
I hear ya on the 'old lady' fabrics. When I was younger I collected stick-in-the-mud colors - now that I'm in my 60's I'm going for the oranges and purples. Preferably in combination. Because life's too short for quiet colors.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabrics!. Great patterns.
ReplyDeleteI just went looking for the Block Swappers Yahoo group and found two–neither of which seem to be the right one. Could you post a link? Thanks.
