Today I am swapping blocks from 2 swaps I recently held. The Christmas block swap is based on a free pattern from Connecting Threads called the 'Glory Be block'. I had 8 swappers including myself and over 200 blocks to swap!
My tables were loaded~
The other swap we call the CYOC swap (choose your own color). I had 11 swappers, myself included, and over 250 blocks. My eyes are kind of swimming in my head right now, but I love the blocks!
Everyone chose their own center string and colors for the strings in this swap and we had some lovely combinations. I forgot to take a photo when I had all the blocks out, but I did snap one of some of my blocks.
I chose a 'rainbow' theme. Bright colors in any of the 'roy b giv' colors. I love the blocks and they will make excellent donation quilts for babies.
Next up on my cutting table is a quick quilt for our DGD and a bag for me! :-)
I hope you are finding lots of time to sew this fall too!
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

That's a lot of swapping and organizing! The blocks look great.
Blocks, blocks, everywhere! Swapping blocks is a lot of fun, except maybe not for the organizer. That looks like a lot of work.
Oh my goodness!! So busy with lovely swaps! Don't forget to take a break! ;)
