It's that time again! Quilt block deadline and drawing day. What a great bunch of blocks all you ladies made. It's always so fun to get a 'sneak peek' when they are arriving. I'm in awe of those who can make beautiful scrappy blocks; my attempts at scrappiness always miss the mark of coordinating and instead turn out rather loud and chaotic looking. (I promise I didn't make any scrappy blocks this time.  ) I'm sure everyone is wondering who won these great purple blocks. . . It's calicokatie1!!
Congrats, calicokatie1
Instructions on what to do next can be found in the first post on this thread. PM me if you have any questions. |

It's funny you should mention scrap quilts, Kris in MI. Over Covid I went into my stash and made many sampler size scrap quilts. I was thinking of teaching a class on the subject. Next week I'm going to meet a lady from church who is in charge of community giving to discuss making quilts. I'm not sure what she wants from me, but I am bringing the samples plus the cathedral windows I'm working on.

Congratulations!
My block ended up a little large but I just left it so the winner can trim it a bit. Sorry I must have miscalculated a bit...

eeeeeeee!!!!!! That's me squealing!! Those purples are gorgeous and I'm so excited to win these blocks. I actually did a double take when I saw my name.   I'll send some fabric in the next month for the next forum quilt. Now I'll be thinking about what kind of setting will show off these purple blocks the best! |

Melissa your block finally arrived today. Not sure how the post office takes two weeks to deliver something one state away? Maybe next time we can just drive towards each other and meet in the middle some where for lunch, lol.

I was a little worried because it seemed thick. |

I received the wonderful blocks you all made and they are gorgeous! Thank you Kris for getting them in the mail to me. There are 27 blocks in total and I spent some time getting to know them yesterday, arranging and rearranging while thinking about all the ways to set them together. I will be making a few more blocks to stretch them out but I have too many ideas in mind to know how they'll look in their final layout. Right now I don't have a camera to take pictures but hope to get one soon so I can post some pictures for you. Thanks to everyone who took part and created these beautiful purple themed blocks. |
