LEMON LIQUORICE
By Sue B

Thank you to all of my swap partners that contributed to blocks in this quilt. It's a great example of by just picking a colour range and letting your partner choose what they make you and they all tie in perfectly together. I have to apologise as I forgot to keep track of who sent me all of the blocks so I cant thank you personally.

Black KaT - completed June 14th 2012 By Sue B 

A few weeks ago I showed you the flimsy but now I can proudly show you the completed quilt.

This is the fourth quilt that I have made with blocks received in the QBSA block exchange, and I think they keep on getting better.

I have been calling this one blazing arrows swap quilt, as a reference to the style of block used, but now its complete I have renamed it BlacK KaT. As I mentioned in a previous post this if going to be a gift for my girlfriend Deb who is an avid cat lover, and turns 50 in July.

I started collecting these blocks in September 2011, and one member (Beatrice from France) kindly sent me two identical blocks in my exchange with her, so I used this extra block to make a matching cushion.

The quilt is really very multicultural blocks coming from

Beatrice - France (2)
Brenda - USA
Cathy - Canada
Encara - Spain
Erin - Australia
Raelene - Australia
Teresa - Portugal and
Helen - Australia (2)
