AMQG: Year Long Quilt-a-long - Block 9

Here is Block 9 of the Austin Modern Quilt Guild quilt-a-long. This month's block is a Pieced Center String Quilt, courtesy of Kaye Prince, aka Miss Print. This block, like Block 4, uses lots of fabrics and scraps!

Note: The tutorial uses a 6.5" square sheet of paper. Since all of our blocks so far have been 12.5", use a 12.5" square sheet of paper. Or... you can always make four 6.5" squares and put them together!

Don't forget to bring your finished block to the July meeting!

Follow Up: Modern Siggy Swap

Well, I got burned on the Modern Siggy Swap. Boo! :(

I made my blocks, sent them in, waited patiently for the return blocks... and then nothing.

I never got a return package from the organizer. According to the message blogs, I was one of three who didn't get a return package. I'm really disappointed. I know my block got part of the group, because I can see it in this finished quilt and this finished quilt.

There ended up being a round 2 of this swap. But I declined to enter because of my previous hard work went no-where. Again... I'm disappointed. I like these blocks more than the first swap! How awesome is this quilt? Its like a modern take on stacked coins quilt.
