In 2007, I joined a signature block swap. I finally got the blocks set and quilted. This was a fun swap in which to participate and I now have friends from all over the world. The block we used was a variation of a classic signature/album block.
This small quilt is just the perfect size to cover the window in my basement sewing room and it is fun to look up at it to rest my eyes from close-up work by focusing on something further away.
I hope you have experienced the fun of a swap.
What a fun piece - love hanging quilts on the windows . . . . it's my new favorite decorating tool *s*
ReplyDeleteOh my, I've forgotten the siggies I received last year in my swap. Yippee, now I have something else to finish and quilt on my longarm. Now if only I can locate the blocks ...
ReplyDeleteI have a similar quilt, love the variation on yours with the "split" block piecing above and below the siggies. I'm going to file this block idea away for future reference. How big is each block, 4"? What a perfect addition for decorating your sewing space.
ReplyDeleteI like the quilt! I have a couple of siggie quilts and always enjoy looking at them.
ReplyDeleteI have two signature/friendship quilts that I treasure more each year. I am glad that you put yours where you can enjoy it every day.
ReplyDeleteI've got at least two packages of signature swap blocks. Haven't done anything with them yet. I tended to get carried away with swapping and forgetting that there is more work when I get the package back.
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome!! Done is good, huh...I have never done a signature swap, yet!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! What a great idea for a window covering in the sewing room!
ReplyDeleteSwaps are so much fun....love the signature quilt. It's neat to look at a quilt and remember what went into it....it warms the heart.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! especially during the winter and yucky spring with nothing to look at.
ReplyDeleteas for your dryer sheets, I have been using Sun & Earth. no scent, no chemicals and they breakdown in the compost in 21 days! give them a try
This looks like it was fun!
