Back in January I started swapping blocks with Mary. We decided to make a blue and yellow quilt. Representing each of our favorite colors. Each month we make two of the same block. We keep one and send the other off. Well, I am getting quite a collection of blocks and I just had to share them with you.
I am also doing this with Karen, except we are making red and yellow blocks. I get so excited at the end of the month. Awaiting the arrival of two precious packages sent from opposite coasts meeting me in the middle.
By the end of the year I will have two fabulous quilts full of love and friendship. Made by friends though far away very near to my hear.

What a fun idea. And something fun to look forward to each month! Love the red and yellow!
the red/yellow combo is great!
Oh friend these are so pretty when you lay them out. I haven't done that yet. What am I thinking!!!
What a great idea! Wouldn't life be wonderful if each day we just made blocks to swap with wonderful friends? I'm doing a guild program in a few weeks with blue and yellow blocks. It's such a pretty combination.
Super super cute.
What a fun and cool idea!
I love this idea! You get to quilt with friends who live so far away. They are beautiful, too.
Great idea, Em! They are all wonderful!
The house block is my most favorite block of all that I see. I am just partial to those.
That's awesome! How fun. They are looking great so far.
Swaps are great! I think you will have some wonderful quilts too!
These blocks are so beautiful! Honestly, the first time I read your post I thought I liked the blue best. Then when I looked again I liked the red. No, the blue. No, the red. They're both fantastic! And what a fun way to gather blocks!
Hi Em! All those blocks are yum!!! Kind regards, Anita.
I like this idea! I sometimes get bogged down by too many choices, but this would be great fun. Love them both:)
What a lovely idea and by the look a beautiful one too!
Love both color combination's. You have some great blocks there.
Beautiful blocks and what lovely quilts they will make.
Love the block swap idea. You'll have 2 beautiful memory quilts when you're all done.
Great blocks Em! You will have 2 wonderful keepsakes in the end... 8-)
