Nov Blocks for Janet in Canada

Well I did make a block for Janet. I read her directions several times. It seem straight forward but for some reason I could not wrap my mind around it. I did email her and still for some reason I am not sure what she meant.  ANYWAY, I made 2 blocks. One is more traditional and one is scrappy the way I think Janet really wanted. It is the same pattern but one is 2 1/2 inch blocks and the other is 2 inch blocks.
It took me way to long to do the 2 inch block. I  didn't realize to what extent I am a control freak. Even with scrappy, I just had to give it unity some how.
 I like them both.

Pinwheel 2

Janet, I hope that you like these blocks. 
They are in the mail on the way to you.

For Miss Ida~

I had so much fun swapping with Ida from Texas this month!
She was so sweet and had made my block immediately.
Then she received a e-mail from me letting her know it was
a different color! (oops) I told her absolutely send  the one
 she had made and that was fine!
I was tickled that it was made & she is so nice.
Of course that would  be fine with me!
As how would she of known!
Let me tell you after all was said and done I got her package...
and look what she did................................................................


Yes, she sent me two blocks!
Can you believe that! What a sweet special swapper!
Thank you so much dear Ida, I love them both! SMILE
Yall have to visit her blog,
when we did my lil-girl asked..."are you swapping with Dorothy"! Ha!

Now.....on it's way to Ida is a block from scraps that was a challenge for me!
Oh my no, not the block, however I am used to doing colors that are the pick....
you know what the swappers put for the "COLOR" they'd want so on I go or
we will go to the store as I never have just the right ones....So I have told my hubby that
I need to look at new ones! ha! (hum...) Okay I love to go look for fabrics! Smile
     Any way...I love the look of scrap quilts, blocks etc....just try to pick the "right" ones?
So...I grabbed a lil-stack from something one of my girls did...and here we are the end results!
We also added a lil-surprise to the envelope!
Ida~ I do hope this goes well with your collection & I thank you it's been a blessing!


Blessings~ Lori
