krisinmi ,forgot to let you know I sent off the blocks on Monday the 22nd. I managed to get 5. Lindym, they came in today's mail. Such beautiful work; I'd never know they were your first ever quilt blocks. I've got many years of sewing behind me, but no knowledge of quilt blocks, YouTube to the rescue plus my little friend "rippit". The 2 tiny strips left of the "forum fabric" just couldn't be stretched, lol, but it was fun. And thank you for your kind words. |

Our deadline for blocks to be received is just 10 days away!! I don't know about you, but it seems to me like April just started a day or two ago. Guess I better sit down and finish my final block--it's been languishing in pieces since March.

So sorry that I haven't posted the winner yet! The weekend got away from me (one grandkid spent the night, plus there was a combined family birthday party for two more grandkids who have birthdays 3 days apart) and I forgot to draw the winner.
Without further delay, the winner of this forum quilt is. . .
lindym!!
Congrats, lindym!

Seriously?? This is so cool. It will be fun to see the rest of the blocks and decide what I'm going to do! I will have to also be looking for the next Forum Quilt fabric.

I will be sending off the washed and dried fabric to krisinmi , tomorrow.
I tried to put in a link to what I bought but it keeps coming up with an error when I check it after saving. It is a Susan Winget fabric, Eucalyptus Leaves. Shades of soft greens.

lindym, I just looked that fabric up and it is really lovely! When is the next forum quilt? I missed out on this one but will try for next time. For several years, we've just done one quilt per year, typically in late winter or early spring. This year, I had several people contact me to say that this spring didn't work well for them, but that they'd like to participate in a quilt later in the year. If there's enough interest, I would love to have a second forum quilt yet in 2021. Maybe late summer or fall? I'll try to get a thread up about that soon and include a poll to see what timeframe looks best for most people. |

Sounds good! After September 1 would definitely be better for me and maybe we could have it wrapped up before Christmas or even before Thanksgiving. I'll keep an eye out for your post about it.  |

I'm in whenever we do another one.
I too would love to see the completed blocks from the last one, if anyone has them (or I missed them and you can point me to them).

lindym the fabric has arrived! Such a neat choice, I love the tone. I will try to get the blocks and extra fabric you won in the mail to you early next week. Unfortunately I have a busy weekend coming, and hay down now that will be getting baled tomorrow. Otherwise I could get everything to the post office sooner.

I got the package of quilt blocks yesterday, lots of fun to look through! So much variety! I'll lay them out and take a picture to post here.
