Green, aqua and orange were the colors that Suz and I used for our swap blocks this month. Here are my twinsies before I mailed off the four look-a-likes to Austrailia.
My favorite of the four this time is the one in the upper left corner. I'm so in love with that shade of blue!
Susan's blocks for me arrived just in time for our post today...yay, Mr. Mailman! She tried something different and switched out the light triangles for dark on two of the blocks. That will add a little interest in our quilt, I think. You might also notice the same fabric for all four of of the "X" sections as well. I like that they will add more white to our quilt.
As usual, the cousins played well together again this month!
The package from Susan was extra heavy and when I opened it I'm sure I made a little yelp! Here's a glimpse of all the goodies after I tore into it. She really outdid herself in surprising me! (You might recognize those churn dash blocks....I'll be doing a post about them soon!)
The other goodies are an early birthday gift it turns out! Have you ever seen a cuter seam ripper or hot pad? ( A tiny frog is hiding behind the ripper lady.) Each one of the little cards is as adorable as this one about friendship and they come with a small wooden display stand. I'll probably prop those right next to my sink where I can enjoy them every day.
These Friendship x and + blocks really are doing a great job of cementing the long distance friendship that Susan and I share. I hope that everyone that's participating in the swap is sharing the same experience!
Thanks Susan. Your the cat's meow!
Oh how sweet to spotlight my little gift! You are so right about cementing our friendship! And I think blue is my all-time favourite colour!

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet and fun project and yay to bloggy friends and swaps. Love the blocks and the colours, they really sing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteCute blocks, and very cute gifts! That little seam ripper looks like the bollards in Geelong! Am I right, Susan? An early happy birthday to you, Carla! I bet you'll be celebrating for days!
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking blocks, and what a wonderful package of fun.. And you're right--Susan is the cat's meow, and I love that I've met all of you through Mid-Century Modern, and am continuing this through the Friendship Swap. Thanks for organizing this!
ReplyDeleteYour x & + blocks are soooo pretty! What a great surprise b-day gift.
ReplyDeleteThese are some of my favorite blocks. The colors are wonderful together. I really like the aqua, green grays that Cindy and Carla have going on but now I'm equally in love with these green aqua, orange blocks. Can't wait to see them all together in a finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks!! My favorite is the top right in the first photo :) Makes me think I need to find a project for an aqua and orange colorway!
