So, we got twelve of us to commit to making the twelve blocks each and then we set a date that we all thought we could finish it by. It was really fun when we finally got together to exchange the blocks. We had a couple of stragglers in the end but we ALL got them done! It was a really great accomplishment as a group to finish this kind of project!
After the block exchange I was so excited to sew the blocks together that I finished my quilt right away and it's been hanging on my sewing room wall for many years now. I get to look at it often and I'm reminded of the special times we shared as friends and how much quilting has brought us together.
Here are close-ups of some of the blocks. Blogger wouldn't let me upload the rest of the block pictures. I will try to add the other blocks later.

Oh my gosh--this quilt is SO cute! I love it! What a great idea. How lucky you are to have such a fun bunch of friends.
Do you machine quilt your own quilts?? They are lovely.
Happy sewing,
