My finished center

Hi there

I just want to show you a sneak from my finished center, it's a folded fabric technique I just discovered recntly and I just love that.

Tought this might be interesting and unusual for this round.

I might already mail it next week, as I leave for a vacation in Portugal on august 4th.

The color is a little too bright because of the flash.

Glimpse

Just a little look at the beginning of the block. These colors are brighter than they appear in the photo.

Snippet of the second try

This is a snippet of my second attempt for a center block. I like this second try much better than the first.

fabrics for the center

Here are the fabrics I will be using probaly for the center piece.

Partner Emails

I have sent all 25 partner emails & preferences. If you did not receive your's, check your spam & trash folders first, then contact me and I will resend it.

Words on Pictures & Use of Only Sneak Peeks

First off, I have seven partners left to email, and hope to complete those tomorrow.

Secondly, I know of a couple people already that are off and running with their center blocks. Regarding pictures...this session of the round robin swap allows partner preferences, whereas the last session did not. Some of the preferences that people gave were extremely specific. I will give you the option of posting a "sneak peek" of your quilt piece, rather than showing all of the center square (same goes for when borders are added...may just show a little portion of your work) so as to allow some suspense to build. I prefer that you do just sneak peeks, but it is your choice. I would like if each person does not know exactly which quilt is their's right from the beginning. If you wonder if your quilt is one that is "very specific", please email me and I will let you know. Full quilt pictures can be revealed when the pieces are completed.

Cheers, and happy sewing.
