Over the last few months I have received some wonderful blocks from my swap partners. Now I know this would appear to be an Aussie block swap, and yes most of us are Aussies, but not all. My august swap partner is in Portugal!!
The block my partners make for me is the Plaited Block - as described by The Quilter's Cache, a fabulous site of sooooo many free quilt block patterns (an lots of other stuff as well). My colour stipulations are easy - white background and two bright colours for the 'plait'.
These are the wonderful blocks I have received so far:

I absolutely love them all and eagerly look forward to the quilt that they one day will become. Just need to keep swapping for many more months. Yay!
These are a few of the blocks I have made for others. The beauty of the swap is that you can let your partner know block and what type of fabrics you would like so it will fit in with your desired end project.
Until next time, happy quilting, knitting, sewing, crafting ....
