Doll Quilt For May 2013 QuiltingHaven Swap

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - Girlscouts1

"Girlscouts1" from Ohio sent a pretty pink fabric with interesting patterns on it.  I thought it had a modern look to it, so I decided to use a modern-style pattern.  Here's the block I made for her. :-)

A group photo of all the blocks I've received to date.  :-)

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - Lovngrandma

"Lovngrandma" from Kansas sent a fun and funky bright fabric that has horses on it.  I added coordinating brights, and made her a Slanted Diamonds block, link below.  Hope she likes it!  :-)  (I have a VERY hard time with blocks that aren't perfectly symmetrical in color and design.  I like balance!  LOL!)

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - DottieDodge

"DottieDodge" from Nebraska sent a pretty blue floral fabric, and asked that I add red, light blue, yellow, or off-white to it.  I chose light blue.  Hope she likes her block!  :-)

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - Jaydee3

"Jaydee3" from Texas sent a Kokopelli square and an aqua/turquoise fabric.  Hope she likes the block I made her!  I tried to match the colors in the square she sent.  :-)

She sent me this lovely block!  I love it!  :-)

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - Cuppy

"Cuppy" from Florida sent a pretty beige fabric with white swirls, and asked that only whites, creams, or beiges (etc.) be added.  I added white-on-white fabric, and made this block (lousy photo):

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - BabyFire04

"BabyFire04" from Indiana sent a pretty purple polka-dotted fabric.  I added two purple florals and "invented" this block.  Hope she likes it!  :-)

Another Quilt Top For A Charity Quilt

Here's a quilt top I just finished.  It'll be donated to charity once I get it quilted.  It's hard to see in the photo, but the center blocks have pretty princesses on them, along with an occasional cute toad!  :-)

Spring Flowers Doll Quilt

Here's a spring doll quilt I just made.  :-)

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - Navarre2011

"Navarre2011" from Florida sent a fun floral F8 with various shades of green, yellow, white, and gray.  She asked that I stay within like colors or beige. I made her a Castle In The Air block, from Quilter's Cache, link below, using two greens from her fabric.  Hope she likes it!  :-)

Check out the gorgeous block she sent me! It's so pretty!  :-)

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - MissGiggleWings

"MissGiggleWings" from Texas sent an F8 with roses and butterflies on it.  Gorgeous!  The block I made her is my own invention that I'm calling Jacob's Wheel, and is a variation of the Jacob's Ladder block.  Some of the butterflies are golden in color, so I matched them with a gold tonal fabric.  Hope she likes it!  :-)

Here's the lovely block she sent me! It's so pretty!  :-)

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - ArizonaKAT

"ArizonaKAT" from Arizona sent a white-on-white tonal fabric, and asked that a two-toned (green/green, red/red, etc.) fabric be added.  I found a pink tonal fabric, and "invented" my own block.  It started out with the same components as a Jacob's Ladder block, but I rearranged the 9-patch to create a different pattern.  I'll call it Jacob's Wheel. :-)

Lookie at the gorgeous block she sent me, sewn on her 1951 Singer Featherweight! :-)

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - Phannie1

"Phannie1" from Georgia sent a pretty Christmas fabric, and asked that no bright reds or greens be used.  I went with a golden tonal accent fabric, and made her a Disappearing Nine Patch block.  Hope she likes it!  :-)

Here's the lovely block she sent me!  :-)

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - QuiltingMommy

"QuiltingMommy" from Utah sent a gorgeous butterfly fabric and asked that I match the colors in the print.  I went with yellow, and found a golden yellow tonal fabric to accent hers.  I made her a Jacob's Ladder block using the pattern from Quilter's Cache, link below.

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - LovingIzabella

"LovingIzabella", the swap hostess, from New York sent a fun and funky fabric with leaf-shaped designs.  Or are they flames?  I had a little trouble deciding what to do with her unusual (but very pretty) fabric.  I finally decided to maker her a Hayes Corners block, from Quilter's Cache (link below).  Hope she likes it!  :-)

"Gaigin", all the way from Japan, sent a gorgeous grayish fabric with small dainty flowers on it.  She requested that white fabric be added.  I made her a Jacob's Ladder block, from Quilter's Cache, link below.  My photo's not very good.  Still learning how to use my new camera.

Boomerang 9 Swap - Pacific Group - Scrapper

"Scrapper" from California sent a pretty white fabric with blue flowers, and asked that only blue or white be added.  I made her a Card Trick block, from Quilter's Cache, link below.  This block was easy as far as the construction, but BOY was it confusing as far as getting the pieces cut and laid out correctly.  Whew!  I finally got it, though.  :-)
