Quilt Block Swaps



I've been working on B and F blocks for the alphabet block swap I'm in. These are paper pieced. Though the color may not show it the B has butterfly fabric with a soft print behind it. The F's have frogs or flowers. I'll be making 28 of each letter and then will receive in return one block for each letter of the alphabet. What a fun alphabet quilt these will make. It'll be fun just seeing all the blocks together, made by different quilters. I'll be using several different fabric combinations as I'm using fabric that I already have and I don't have large amounts of my novelty fabrics. I'm finding that I can get 5 or 6 out of 2 fat quarters. The F is very easy to do, the B more challenging as it requires the pattern to be cut into 2 pieces and then the pieces are stitched together to make the B.
