Noah's Collection
Barb Vlack cptvdeo@inil.com clubEQ
challenge for April, 2001: Design a layout for a collection of exchange
blocks. This is a virtual rendition of a real quilt I'm finishing from
a block exchange from my Noah quilting bee. This bee loves primitive
murky quilts. I used a Twist block to set the 6" exchange blocks so they
would be "catawampus" instead of straight. I could also compensate for
slightly off-sized blocks, if necessary.

Blocks that are not all quite identical in size originally may be sized
to fit.

IL I've had these blocks from an online exchange for a few years now
and wasn't sure how I'd put them together. This challenge forced me to
make a decision. Now to find the time to sew it up LOL!

Piecemakers
Nine Patch Eileen Allen Club EQ May 2001 Challenge. This quiilt is being
made by my church group for our Christmas Raffle. It was to be a trellis
of 3 inch "flower" nine patch blocks. Of course when it was being put
together they didn't fit. We then made 9 patch blocks of each of the
colors and put them on point and used the extra blocks and the trellis
blocks for the border. Just proves there is more than one way to make
a quilt. LOL. ekallen@snet.net.

Heart Swap
Quilt May 01, EQ challenge Blocks exchanged with swappers around the
USA. No size was specified but they had to have hearts in the design.
This is a quilted wallhanging that never would have been made without
the use of EQ. All the plaid spacers' measurements were readily available
thanks to EQ. Barbara Hamrin, jhamrin@capecod.net

as a model for this quilt. I won the tree blocks(10x10") from my quilt
guild "The Fabricators", Gilbert, Iowa. I design this quilt around the
tree blocks and the house in the center. I amnow in the process of quilting
this quilt. e-mail address: jmetmer@qwest.com

Variable Log
Cabin Horizontal Layout for a Star Block Exchange May 2001 clubEQ challenge
I like to add varying width strips of fabric in a log cabin style to
exchange blocks when they vary in size. This way the larger blocks can
then be trimmed so that they are all the same size for the quilt layout.
There are many different ways these blocks can then be arranged. Charlotte

Sampler For this quilt I used the block 3739 (Diamonds in the Corners)
from Block Base and set my Sampler blocks into the center of the block.

Crazy Sampler
For this quilt I started with block 2707 (Crazy Quilt) in Block Base.
I eliminated some of the lines to simplify the pattern. I set then in
a 2 block X 2 block quilt as rectangles. Then I mirror imaged and flipped
then so that the 4 corners were the same. Then I set the blocks in layer
two and turned them at a 45 degree angle. The blocks go into the triangle
out border. Kathy Johnson Alexander, ND quilted@ruggedwest.com

Patriotic
twist The Windbrown Square variation was one that I got in a block exchange.
The blue squares help "true up" the block size. The little stars help
carry the red diagonally across the top.

Spring medallions
This one was just for fun. Actually this was an alternate setting for
my Marti Mitchell blocks, in the next quilt. I wanted to see how it would
work with more vibrant colors and other blocks.

Spring mist
This quilt is a WOP. The blocks are finished and about half the sashing
strips are pieced. The only was to do these and not stretch the bias,
is with paper piecing. These are very long points! Any one recognize
the blocks? They're from Marti Mitchells BOM a few years ago.

Sew Be It Bee's Album 12 members of my small group swapped blocks. I
received 12 and made one for myself of my own fabric. I had those members
not participating to sign a signature block arranged in the side borders
(6). Also as I made each member's block I made a 4" fan square of their
fabric. I've arranged those plus one of my own fabric.

swap blocks from friends The frames that surround the swap blocks can
be adjusted for each swap block, so that the block's size will remain
the same, from block to block. This is a horizontal setting, although
the chain makes it look like a diagonal setting. Pat Tribbey South Florida anotherpat@aol.com
