Tell Me a Story Swap Flimsy

Photo overload.

Just scroll down.

I am posting this to save and remember this great block swap.

I signed up for two swap groups.

I made the cat blocks quickly.

The general blocks took more time.

I made four different blocks for each swap.

Then I tried different settings.

It dawned on me that using only the swap blocks would make a small quilt.

All the blocks above are the ones I made to swap.

My plan to alternate the story blocks with setting blocks led to the X blocks.

I used 4 neutrals and a blue print from my stash.

The next few photos are layout mock-ups.

There was a cute dog fabric at the local shop.

I made 5 puppy blocks and one bunny block.

Swap blocks started coming.

It is interesting that I had not seen any of the focus fabrics in the swap blocks.

As the blocks came I sewed up the rows.

I put one of my blocks in most rows.

The finished flimsy uses the neutrals as the border with 4 of my blocks as the corners.

Next step to make the sandwich, baste, and quilt.

Hoping for a quilt finish next week.
