March Friendship x and + Swap


It's the last Friday in March and that means more X and + blocks!
 Suz and I worked with brown, red and pink fabrics this time. Here are the twinsies that I created. I mailed half to Susan in Australia.
She sent me these four beauties! I love that she included some butterflies as I'm looking for every clue that spring is maybe finally here!
Our eight bright blocks will be joining the others created over the last 6 months. (You probably haven't noticed, but each month I've used the same aqua solid fabric as one of my choices. I notice that Suz always includes some of the hexie fabric.) Only two more months to go!
Next week will be Selvage Week here at Lollyquiltz...
I'll be showing you several ideas for using the colorful edges of your fabric instead of just throwing them away.  See you then!

  5. Once again very lovely blocks! I haven't noticed the aqua fabric in every set, I'm not good in such things. But in the next two months I'll have a look at it :-) And I'm very curious, what the quilt will look like in the end - I'm sure it'll be a very special and really great quilt!

  10. I'll be checking back for selvage week! I just saw a photo on Instagram yesterday of a selvage skirt! (Somehow I got the feeling that it might be someone in your guild?). Can't wait to see your suggestions and projects!

  11. Great Cross-X blocks! I love that zinger of aqua in the blocks. We all need a little pickup like that once in a while. Terrific!
