Well Ladies,

So far we're having a lot of fun making quilt blocks and swapping them with our partners for a quilt to be made later in the year from these blocks. So this swap will be #6 in the series of quilt blocks. If you are just now joining in, that's fine you can always add blocks of your own creation to make up for the ones you've missed or do some private block swapping here with your friends. I think that these blocks will make a lovely quilt to be admired.

The swap will consist of senders choice of colors on the "Slanted Diamonds" block pattern so you can start working on your block right away. Please note you can choose your own colors so you can start sewing NOW!

The size of the block you will make will be 12.5" x 12.5" so that when it's finished and put into the quilt, the blocks will be 12"x12".

Please do your best work and make something you'd love to receive. I will host a different block pattern each month so don't forget to come back and check out the next month. You can start in the series at any time. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
