… And the next lot!
These beauties are from Jean. Aren’t they gorgeous? I think the whale one is probably my favourite, because I dearly love a postage stamp block, and the whale is clearly enjoying his plunge through the waters. The sailboat is such fun too, I love how Jean has embellished it with stitches. And the vortex is perfect to balance one we already have. This quilt is turning out to be such fun!
I know there are several more blocks on the way; if you’re participating and haven’t started yet, please may I urge you to try to complete your blocks soon? I will have a lot of work to do once they are all here, so the sooner, the better.
Thank you, Jean, for your lovely work and for joining us once more.
Till the next time.

I love them! Wow! So much imagination.
This one seems to have really captured everyone’s imagination!
Wonderful blocks. This years quilt will be a stunner.
I think so too. Although it’s getting harder to come up with names, the ones I have are producing amazing responses.
Another fun batch!
They are, and the amazing thing is how well all the blocks work together, despite their widely disparate sources.
I agree! This quilt is FUN! FUN! FUN!!!!
It’s one of the ones where I kind of wish I could keep it around, but it’s going to do so much good.
I especially like the angles on the sailboat one!
Yes! It makes the sky really interesting.
I love them all too! The Whale is very fetching!
The whale is a happy chappy, he has such beautiful water to swim through 😊
WOOOOOW !!!!
Exactly!
Wow I love these! The whale is so cool!
He is, and a perfect addition to the undersea life already living on the quilt!
OMG … stunning 😍
Can’t wait to see your layout once all blocks are in 🙌
Still a little way to go, but it’s going to be a goodie!
More lovely work… this is going to be a very popular quilt!
I think so, and I also think there’ll be blocks left over for a cushion, or maybe two.
Hi Kate – is there another Jean in the group? These wonderful blocks are not made by me.
There is indeed, these are the work of Jean Swenson.
Just remembering how I used to enjoy making postage stamp blocks. The whale is a fabulous addition.
Yes! It’s quite an undertaking, but I’m pretty sure the whale appreciates all the work that went into his deep blue waters…
Love the embroidery.
It really adds such a lot to the overall impression.
Wonderful blocks! The whale is fantastic.
Isn’t he? There’s some really tremendous appliqué on this year’s quilt.
They’re stunning. Wow. Jean’s work is exquisite. All of the squares are creative, unique, on-theme, and lovely.
I agree. It’s going to be a very special quilt. Not that they aren’t all special, but this one seems to have caught everyone’s imagination!
I do love the whale too!
He’s fun, isn’t he?
