My First May Post

Would you believe I actually have a May finish?  I got my green and cream quilt back from the quilter, and put the binding on Saturday.  I worked on it every minute I had and finished it in one day.  Sunday morning I washed and dried it, and it is now clean and soft and crinkly.  I love it!  Thank you to all the ladies in the swap for the beautiful blocks.  I still have to put the label on it, and I want to list the names of all who contributed to it. 

Finishing up a quilt made with swap blocks makes me really want to finish up another one.  I'm still working on the D9P from the fall, but I have to admit I haven't worked very hard on it.  It still has a long way to go, and I'm trying to get a little bit done each day.  As I promised, I'm not going to bore you with another picture of it until it's done.

I finally started working on the blocks that I got from the Red White and Blue No Sew Swap.  As usual, I made a mistake on the very first one, and had to find another fabric to add to the block.  I have a lot, and I do mean a lot, of 4" red fabric squares, but of course, none that really matched what was already in the block.  I messed up one of the half square triangles, and it was way too small.  Since the middle square was the same, I substituted a blue star fabric.  I think it looks okay, and at least it keeps all the corners the same.

Also, look at the beautiful block I got from a monthly swap I'm in.  The colors will go just perfectly with the other blocks I gotten in this swap.  Thank you Ellen.
