Sorry I have been missing~ I finished a nice big quilt top. BUT I can't show you until December! Its my HGTV BOM. I am really happy with how it came together.
I also finished my string swap blocks, but silly me.. I forgot to take a photo when I was swapping everyone's! Sorry. There were some great color combo's. In this swap (hosted on HGTV quilter's message board) everyone gets to choose the color of strings they'd like in their blocks, and the center string size. Then I make a master list and everyone makes four blocks for each participant. The blocks measure 8.5 inches, unfinished. They all sent them to me and I swapped them out and mailed them back yesterday. This time we had 11 participants, including me, so here are the 10 sets I received, plus a few extra. They aren't laid out the way I would sew them together because I have each person's blocks together~ and I want to mix them up! ;-) I'm trying to decide if I should make more, cut these and add a color to one side, or what. I am going to put them up and do some thinking for a while...like until after the holidays. ;-)
That's all for now! Have a happy, quilty, weekend!!

This is going to be a good looking 'fun' quilt when it's done!!!! Border?? Or no??? Hmmmm, I think no border but a nice mixed up binding would be great!!!!
