Cottage Quilt

I was in a swap that Betsy hosted that finished this year. All of the cottages are just wonderful. The pattern  that we followed called for a wall hanging, a huge wall hanging. Mine will be laying on the back of the sofa for the little boys, Nikolas discovered the windows had things in them and he had a blast looking at the windows.

I used flannel for the backing as I wanted it to be soft for the boys. I thought flannel was made for this quilt.

Thanks to all the ladies for a wonderful swap.

November Cottage

November's cottage arrived on the 2nd. What a great way to start the month! Thanks, Yvette. We now have 7 cottages and I love them everyone. I say this every month so you only have to hear it 5 more times I can't wait to make this quilt.

I am really enjoying this swap. Unlike the other swap I was in recently where I received nothing and the hostess hasn't followed up and the deadline to mail was 30 days ago. So once again, thank you.

Happy quilting!

P.S. Please keep Greg in your prayers, he has H1N1 aka swine flu. Poor little baby just lays there.

Oct Cottage

I almost didn't do this swap as I do not enjoy piecing blocks, I'm an applique' gal. I am so glad I participated every month I'm just tickled with the blocks. October block was made by Toni and she did a wonderful job.

And here are the other blocks I have received.

Sept

 

Have a quilt-y day!

Sept Cottage block

Betsy made the Sept cottage block and sent a acorn button for the doorknob and a label for the quilt that is just perfect. Betsy sent the block early as her husband took her away for the weekend for her birthday. Yes, I linked my husband to Betsy's post telling us she was going away for the weekend. ;)

Happy quilting!

Cottages

The August block for the cottage swap came last week while I was staying with the boys. I barely got to look at it before I took off again. Isn't it cute? Now there are several rumors floating around about who the stunning lady in the window is. I think Jean did a fantastic job.



Here is May, June, July and August blocks. I can't wait to get to put this quilt together.
Happy quilting!

P.S. Did you cut out a friendship bag yet?
