Did I tell you I love those blue and white SBS swap blocks? Scince they arrived on Friday, they have been lying on the living room floor for me to admire and play with - and Sunday I just had to start stitching them together *lol* This is what they look like now, after doing some stitching Sunday, last night and tonight:
I have sewn together 59 blocks, all fifty I received from my swap partners and nine of my own, set on point with 1" white/cream sashings, blue corner stones, and white/cream setting triangles. It is now a fair size lap quilt, perfect size to have on the sofa on those cold winter nights. I'm not quite sure where I want to take it from here... I want some sort of pieced blue border - not to big - but don't know what pattern to choose... so i'm putting it in the sewing basket while I take a time-out in the think tank :o)
Hope you are having fun these days too!
Sincerely, Anne Ida

Oh, thank you so much for sharing your quilt. As I mentioned to you once before, I have the fabrics to make it in shade of cream and peach but never had the courage to attempt it. Having seen your blue one, I realize I was on the right track.
What a lovely quilt you have put together Anne Ida!
You did a marvelous job of laying out this quilt - it is amazing!!
