Black, White and Yellow Quilt Blocks
These are all yellow, black and white but some look tan or orange from the photo. They are beautiful! I just completed a swap where the person making the block chooses what square they will use and the person receiving the blocks chooses up to 3 colors. The group is starting a new swap and there is probably time to join at http://www.flickr.com/groups/6x3bee/
This is a 9 patch that I made just playing around with fabric and of course the same colors
I made this block today as I'm also in a swap and the block must be squares. I think this round is filled but you can check it out at
Both of these are for anyone not just USA. That is fun as the fabrics are all great and the selection would be so hard to duplicate.
When I get enough of these squares then I will have one beautiful quilt.
Would anyone be interested in a signature block swap? There will be one coming up soon I hope at
The more the merrier and this should be great!
Hope everyone is having a great week-end! It's cooled down here and feels great but we need RAIN!!

Check this out!!! Tag Square Bee
Bellsbellsjo is having a new swap for quilt blocks and if you would like to join then go to
http://www.flickr.com/groups/tagsquarebee/
About Tag Square Bee
We are a group of thirteen quilters from all over the world, making each other blocks from our own stash. All the blocks will be based around squares and square designs. Members get to choose the colour scheme they want for their quilt.
The above is copied and pasted from the group.
This is a Flicker Group and I'm also in the 3x6 and waiting to get into the Siggy Block. I have some beautiful blocks from one of my last swaps and the maker picks the block pattern but uses colors that you request. The photo below is some old blocks but they are square. If you like square patterns then you will love this group!!

Blogs I Like
I found this blog when I was over at Lucy's http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/ I've been a fan of Lucy for a long time and now I'm a fan of the two Janes.
http://teawagontales.blogspot.com/2010/08/meet-family.html
I also keep track of the Hen over at http://henhousehomemade.blogspot.com/
Had to have one photo!Another UK blog that I like is Jo at http://www.bellsjo.blogspot.com/
She does some marvelous quilt blocks and now she would like to start up a quilting bee. Go over and take a look at her thoughts. I know I'm in!
I still am hoping this coming year or the next to go over to the UK for a few weeks. I think I will try a house swap as that would be the way to feel like you're part of the community. Anyone ever tried this?
There are a lot of blogs that I like but these came to mind this morning!
