This is the project that got me started in quilting. A 9 patch block swap as organised by Sheridan. The final mail out for these blocks was 22 months ago so as you can see I have taken my time in finishing this quilt off!
We each picked a feature fabric and sent it out in bundles to the other ladies in the swap. They each paired it with something from their stash, sewed it into 2 different 9 patch blocks and sent it back. I learnt so much during this fabric selection process which did add to the fun.
I then arranged the blocks, added a border, quilted it myself (finally) and have sewn the binding on. The result speaks for itself!
The best part of this swap would have to be some of the friends I have made.
Thanks Sheridan, Susie, Bronwyn, Helen, Lynn, Lara, Beth, Donna, Leah, MJ, Lisa, Bec, Bianca and Louise.
