Still Swamped

In order to ignore the excessive rain we're getting(5" in 24 hours), I cut out some extra squares and rectangles of the batiks I'd pulled to make myself some more Swamp Blocks. Then the studio assistant arrived to make sure I was putting them together correctly.

Catus-Interruptus created an emergency stop. Sure enough, I had one of the pieces turned the wrong way around. He's occasionally helpful.

After some discussion he finally allowed me some space. 

I've received a couple more Quilt Mavs blocks, and a there's a few more remaining. With these additional blocks it'll make for a nice throw of some sort. Maybe if I get crazy with a giant border, a small bed sized quilt.

Swamped Out

 I powered through and got all the cutting done and then the piecing was pretty much a breeze.

This is a very easy block to make. Although I managed to mess it up no less than two times, requiring a little un-sewing. 

I laid all of them out at once to make sure there weren't too many fabric repeats happening in a particular block.

Here are the eight blocks that I made. Seven to send out and one to keep for myself.

And here are my eight blocks plus the three I've already received from two Quilt Mavs. I love how the block just absolutely disappears when you place them together.
