A Year ago in March my friend Martha and I began a monthly 2 1/2 inch charm block exchange.
Each month we exchanged 25 fabric
squares.
I have tried 2 different layout ideas and not happy with either of them.
I have my featherweight set up in the
quilt room at Hunter knob and love
the view and decided to work
on idea number three using the charms.
I am putting together a 16 patch block of a color family then will put those blocks together in strips with an
alternating strip between them with
perhaps some embrodiery or applique.
OR I will put the blocks together with an
alternationg block.
I have pieced four of the blocks so far and they
are in the tumbler shape.
STAY tuned for more on this
PROJECT.
I would love to have a plan for the blocks
since our last exchange is in March.
The squares are so special not to do something
awesome with them.
Martha is also working on how to use the charms.
THANKS MARTHA.

It can be hard to come up with an idea that fits with so many different fabric colors and styles. I've been through several ideas too. But it has been fun!
The tumbler blooks look nice. I wait to see where you take it from here.
