On Wednesday I commented that I really liked one person’s block that she linked to for WIP Wednesday. She emailed me back and said it was for a swap and asked if I wanted to join.
So now I’m playing with Quilt Around the World II on flickr. We make a starting block and then everyone else makes a block to compliment it. I made a rainbow mosaic block from this tutorial.
I think they are taking signups through the weekend if anyone is interested.
I also joined Add-a-Border on flickr. This is a low stress group. There are no deadlines. You send in a 6.5″ starter block. It can be anything. It gets sent to someone else to add a 3″ border. This keeps going until it is 24″. The twist is at any point a person working on a block can decide they love it and choose to keep it. I’m going to use this as a creativity exercise to see what I can come up with for whatever is sent to me. They end at 24″ which is the size that Neonatal ICU donation groups want quilts to be so I think I’ll snag any appropriate ones I have and donate them.
You get a block whenever you send one in. If you turn it around in 2 days, that’s when you get another one. If it takes you two months, that’s when you get another. I sewed together two left over parts of my Orca Bay quilt to make my starting block.
Your writing is very good, very easy to find my core advice that you convey, thank you
