BACK AGAIN

Here I am then, back, like a bad penny as the saying goes!! Thank you for the comments left by you lovely ladies in the previous post, appreciate them.
Just look at what was waiting for my return...... Lots of lovely squishies.

I have entered another wonderful swap on Popular Patchwork Forum. This is a FRIENDSHIP BLOCK SWAP, there are 14 of us and we each can choose what we would like the others to send by way of the swap. I have chosen AMISH style and the theme SQUARES... I have requested that NO Yellow or White or even Black be used and that only PLAIN fabric be used...

Here are the first three I have received...

What a wonderful first block I opened from Alison, she put a note in that I could turn the centre squares if I chose to, no way, I have very happy with the way they are Alison, Many thanks to you...

My next block I opened was from Ros, A Friendship Star no less... Ros asked me if there are enough squares for me!! hahaha, it is just great Ros, thank you. She also said she found it difficult NOT being able to use Yellow!! and all those points!! Great job Ros, I love it.

The third squishy I opened contained this one from Tessa, she informs me this is called 'Corner 9 Patch signature' As I didn't wish the ladies to sign their blocks, she removed the signature part and put a star in its place, how neat is that? In the picture it is showing almost white, its not it is beige, many thanks to you Tessa, another great block.

Just a note about the signatures. I opted for the ladies NOT to sign the blocks as I will be putting all their names in the Quilting when I get all the blocks joined. I like to do it that way, I hope I didn't offend anyone by this choice!!!!! It was interesting to see how you all interpreted the Amish style, and sorry you didn't like just using Plains girls.

So there we are a really good start to my Friendship Quilt I think, don't you?
