It is early days yet, and perhaps I will change my tune as the quilt tops get bigger and trickier!Granny Maud's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526026491886013457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694760279089599732.post-7465317453439255892014-10-08T13:35:11.189+08:002014-10-08T13:35:11.189+08:00So many awesome blocks!!

I've also signed up for the swap and I'm loving (although, same problem - not sure I can part with it) making something for someone else. Can't wait to see what else you sign up for :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166502151832502779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694760279089599732.post-8066253061282936012014-10-03T05:34:53.379+08:002014-10-03T05:34:53.379+08:00You've got me thinking about possibly joining ...You've got me thinking about possibly joining a bee next year. Don't feel that you need to use purple on my Possum Magic quilt. I only used blue and green in the centre. It was Sharon who introduced the purple ( not that I mind of course!). Just do whatever you think looks right.Wendy @ Wendysquiltsandmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199266373220519690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694760279089599732.post-81820829930260406612014-10-03T01:37:57.278+08:002014-10-03T01:37:57.278+08:00I haven't done any, but I enjoy seeing what ot...I haven't done any, but I enjoy seeing what others do.

Purple seems to be quite popular lately but we are heading into fall here and it is a fall-ish color. I do not sew much with purple but I have been loving the purple unicorn fabric from Far, Far Away. I like being in a bee that runs 10 months of the year and occasionally participating in a swap. I like to have a challenge and be pushed out of my comfort sewing zone; keeps me out of sewing ruts and I get to learn and improve. I have yet to participate in a round robin but I think it would be fun! It will be fun watching your swap progress. You made a lot of beautiful blocks ( and some cute tiny blocks!) this past year!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013357316895115533noreply@blogger.com
