Love the lattice design. I got all mine pressed and color copied by state/country. Now I'm taking off the papers and matching them to the color copies for my record. It is sooo much fun. I can't wait to start on the quilt. Still don't know what I want to do with them. Hmmmm?

Louise,

Margo posted the lattice, but did not say if it was one of hers or not. The picture looks like it was taken in a store of some sort. It is in "What do plan to make with your HSTs." Yours is looking really good!

Am loving all these wonderful designs from such creative & talented sisters...well done!

Louise, I love it. I can't start mine just yet. Have other projects that need to be finished first. The upside to waiting is that I get to see so many ideas for my mine!

Louise, you have excellent taste....this is the one that I want to make with my batiks, also.

Wow Louise, that's awesom
love this - and another design i love....
have fun with these

Hi all,
I have started work on my second hst quilt using a design from the forum, thank you whoever you are - it is a lovely lattice design - I downloaded all the photos that people have sent onto the forum for my scrapbook and I have forgotten to write down whose it was.
Photo is attached
I have been working all morning and it must be time to stop for lunch but I keep saying to myself - just one more row....lol
It will be quite a lot bigger but my design board would only fit this many on. It is to be made only with the batik fabrics - they are absolutely awesome.
Our group is setting up at one of the local shows to work on them so people can see what we do.
Cheers for now,
Louise in Cairns

Hi, Here is an update on the 2nd box of HST's ~ it still has not arrived. It has been a week since the first box arrived, I'll give it another week or more before getting overly concerned. Will keep you updated. Love what I have so far, but don't want to play too much until the rest arrive.

Have fun everyone,
Sandra

I have an idea for the 2012 BOM ... wait for it ... how about a center medallion or panel that incorporates hsts and ... we could do another swap! Rules being that you can only submit enough to make the pattern (and maybe a boarder?!)

Sounded good at midnight last night right before I fell asleep.

How fun this is, I have one of yours and you have one of mine! That is for sure because I am only one from Finland.
And thank you all for your nice comments! I have made one block more today, this project is going well. Though in the weekend I have to concentrate to birthday party: my DS is having his 6th birthday. He wishes to have chocolate cake, and that is what I am going to make for him.

Maryjo, I am with you. Origninally, I was thinking the the tree of life was so fitting for the spirit of the exchange. Now that I see Mimuscraft's blocks I am even more convinced. I have to figure out how to add my own uniqueness to Edyta's design. Problem is there doesn't seem to be a way to make it better than it is. Struggling for finding what I want for the background. Maybe the design needs some bee's. They are communal in nature and so are we. I'll have to think about it. Lois Bruno, PA

Hi Mimuscraft,
I really have been leaning towards doing the Tree with my hst's and your tree may have just been the one to help me decide. I am still in the process of documenting them clipping ears and removing paper and probably won't get to assemble any until after June 10th.
Thanks for sharing both the layout and finished block.
Maryjo

Hi Minuscraft,

I love your blocks! Thanks so much for sharing. I didn't find one of mine yet, but it was so much fun seeing hst's I did recognize and have in my quilt. I keep thinking of posting my progress, but then just end up doing more sewing instead.
