Since I first found quilt block swaps in February, I have been well and thoroughly hooked. I'm signed up for the Disappearing 9-patch swap at Aunt Pitty Pat's, the Scrappy Christmas block at Modernjax, the Summer Mini Quilt swap at Quilter's Gallery, the Signature block swap at Cornbreadandbeans, and 2 swaps on Swap Bot. (Sorry, I'm still too new at this to know how to link to the blogs, but I'll learn how.) So, yesterday I went to the quilt shop to find the Civil War reproduction fabrics for the sig block. I've never used CW fabrics before, and I was really surprised at how beautiful they are. In the shop they seemed drab, but when I got them home, the colors just popped. Aren't they gorgeous?
I think they'll make a beautiful quilt. The swap is for 70 blocks, which will be a good beginning for a quilt. After getting such beautiful treasures, imagine my surprise to find a package for me when we got home. 
It's a gorgeous mini quilt from the Spring Mini Quilt swap. Isn't it beautiful? It was made for me by Bonnie at Bonnie's Bits and Pieces, and I have found the perfect place to display it. In addition to the quilt, she also sent 2 pieces of wonderful fabric. I'm already planning how to use them.

Hi...I'm glad to find your blog (found it from Tonya). She told me you helped me get all 50 states to visit my blog a few weeks back and I wanted to thank you. I will sign on as a follower now, too.
Hi Cecelia

I came from Tonya's blog. I have not used Civil War repos either. I really like thing with more color. We have lots in common, I have two sons and a daughter and two grandsons. I am a retired educator. Looking forward to following your blog.
