Those are wonderful blocks for a nautical theme, I really like them all!

Here's mine again, reposted - it's a completed quilt top. (I'm in Sunbonnet Susies).

All the blocks are fantastic! Somehow I missed seeing yours, scraphappy - you've done a wonderful job setting them in a quilt.
Teresa

I love all the blocks. Great quilt Scraphappy--the sashing and borders pull all the blocks together very nicely.

Oh, this is the next best thing to being in the swap!! Great blocks! TFS

I'm loving this thread! Can't wait to join for 2008! --Amy

The the blocks are fantastic! Scraphappy beautiful job on your blocks!
Red

Here is mine, May Threadheads! I requested turquoise and white and the girls came through for me! I haven't had a chance to do anything with them yet. June is a busy month for me. It is Daylily season here and being the VP and program director of the local daylily society has me busy, along with DH being the prez. Rebecca

Here are the February Threadheads. The theme was blue/gold stars, quilter's choice. Aren't they gorgeous?
Apologies for the poor photography!

Wow I am loving all these block pics.

Here's the reposted pic of my quilt. Scrapmasters/March-30's repro blocks. I'm still so in love with my quilt!

Kay

Great looking blocks!!!!! and it looks like y'all have had a lot of fun along the way, too.

Kay/quiltdiva -

I absolutely love the way you set off your blocks! And the border is AMAZING!!! All I can say is......WOW!!!

Kay, I have become a reproduction convert....I think if we do the birthday block swap next year, thats what im going to ask for....you always do wonderful work...judy

Beautiful Blocks!! BTTT I don't want anyone to miss these beauties!

TFS all these wonderful blocks. I was always curious what was getting swapped behind "closed doors". It's nice to see what ya'll are doing. Having fun it looks like. :)

Those turquoise/white blocks are stunning! I would never have thought of that combination. This is a way for those of us wanting to get a two color quilt to finally have it!

Love the blue/gold stars too!

Can someone tell me how to add text on a photo?
Teresa

I love all of them . Kay yours is stunning I love that border and the use of the polkadot fabric was the icing on the cake.

The blocks are all beautiful! Thanks for posting them. It's is so much fun seeing them all together.
Kay

Thanks for sharing those beauties. I'm so glad that my life has settled down and I will be able to join the swap next year.

ok, where are the rest?? There are 5? birthday block groups, 5 full months so far... I figure we should have at least 25 pics of blocks received!

Who's next??

Teresa, I'd like to know that answer too!!! How do you put text on a photo????

actually there are six groups so we should have 30 pictures minus the one lady that "passed away" in one of the groups. I have mollies pictures I believe. I can repost them.

Amy

For putting text on a photo, I use photo editing software on my computer before putting it on Photobucket. The one I used for these pics is called Picture It! by Microsoft, which came preloaded on my computer. You open the picture in the program, select "add text" and it will give you a text box that you can move around and write in. A different text box for each block. Other programs work in a similar way. Hope this helps.

Tamie

Here's my first six blocks. I'll get the other six in awhile. I asked for red & white, quilter's choice on pattern. I'm in the sunbonnet susies group.

Thanks so much for the great blocks! I've already got ideas swirling on how to make them into a quilt.

Noocha, those blocks should make a really striking-looking quilt!

Noocha, those reds and whites are sooo pretty. Hope to see the finished quilt.

Ooooooo, so pretty, Linda! I love red and white quilts.

Teresa

Oh Linda, they are so pretty. I got red and white blocks for my birthday last year and yours would combine really nicely with mine.

Ohhh they all look so good ! My favorite color is blue. But I must say the red and white is a knockout ! I'm signing up next year. What size are the blocks ? Some look bigger than others. Mary in Va

OK Fran, you're NOT getting my blocks! LOL
They are so pretty. I spread them out on my bed yesterday & they're gonna make a gorgeous quilt.
Mary in VA - my blocks were 12 1/2". I'm not sure what everyone else's were. It's a lot of fun so come on & join in next year.

Just wondering if there are any recent birthday swap photos out there. Nobody has posted to this string since June!!!

Here are my Maple Leaves with a black background from the Nimble Thimbles group for my birthday September 2007:

Bump~~~~

Nanci

Thanks for opening this post. It was wonderful seeing all of the great work everyone has done. Makes me wish I had joined one of them. Maybe another time. Jayne

Thanks for the reminder, Nanci. We are starting a new year and it is all so exciting. I can hardly wait to see this years results. Last year turned out beautifully. I hope everyone posts the results on their birthday.
Linda

Wow, what an array of beautiful blocks. I especially like the 30's quilt top. Can't wait to see more.
Dianne

Here is a link to the post where I put a picture of my blocks that I received last February. I'm not really sure how to repost the picture here. I hope this works...

The last two are from the "Honorable Rippettes".
What wonderful ladies to pitch in and make up our missing blocks.
Thank You!!
