Block Exchange Results!

The Block Exchange with Brenda's saturday morning group has had its trade off last saturday morning. There were twelve of us and we each made our own 12 1/2 " block ,so we could end up with enough for at least a lap quilt or possibly two small quilts.  I dyed four of the blocks a tan color. and set them together. I then decided to make an asymmetrical border. I will show you the progression.












My block was one of the four that I dyed. It used to look like this...


 I also finished two more basket embroidery blocks and am now working on the 5th one. There are only nine in total.


 The thin white sheet in between the fabric and embroidery is a water soluable  called transfer ease. I can run thru printer as I copy pattern. 

  Off to take exchange quilt to quilter, Martha.

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.
