Since someone asked a while ago, I can finally reveal my 2011 and 2012 Birthday Block Swap Quilts.

( clicky for the pictures )

Borders attached, now it's time to measure and piece the back - then off to the longarmer! Had I thought about it more thoroughly, I would have put brown corner squares in the corner of the border, it looks very pink to me!

Well...almost...I still need to add the two borders, a narrow and a wide one, but you get the idea.

Here is my pieced top from 2011, I still haven't decided if I will add borders or not. I had received 12 blocks, but chose to go down to 9 based on color selections.

I really like the look of this block though when pieced together.

Here are my 2011 cottage blocks so far. I've made a few extra myself as i wanted to make a larger quilt. There is one other block already received not shown here that i have reserved for the bottom row, and i'm still waiting on my block from treevillemary

I love how they've all turned out

Previously someone had emailed me asking if they could use a different background fabric for my block.  I can't remember who emailed me, but if you are still waiting to hear back from me before finishing the block, can you please email me again or comment on this post?
