I just joined a block swap based on the Japanese x and + block pattern. The flickr block swap begins in January 2012 and I wanted to try out the pattern. I love it! Making these blocks is becoming addictive, maybe because I find the process of making it really relaxing. When I first started making the blocks, I just happen to be watching Law and Order. And every time I worked on the blocks, the show just happen to be on. Now, when Law and Order is on, I feel the need to make these blocks. I've become the Pavlov dog of quilting! LOL
Here are the first four blocks:
And the four blocks together:
I've been using fabrics from my stash and the fabric selection has been pretty painless since I spent the entire Thanksgiving weekend sorting and organizing my fabrics. I'm loving how the blocks look together so I'll probably make a quilt as well as blocks to swap.
Have a quilty weekend!
Good job, they look really great! I can't wait to start this swap it will be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteHi there. I came over from the small blog meet. Your blocks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really like this block. I am really going to have to make some.
ReplyDeleteHeh, I think it's NCIS for me that seems to be my quilting accompaniment (although it's being edged by Christmas films at the moment) I'm going to have a bit of a practice this weekend too...
ReplyDeleteI love the association...I have a quilt I quilted during the last Commenwealth ganes,...it always stires the memories when I see it xx
ReplyDeleteLove the similar-but-different black & white backgrounds. Great blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are great. I love crime drama's and always find myself embroidering my way through CSI or SVU :D
