Yesterday I did get to make my sample block for the green/neutral no-sew block swap. This is a photo of it. It is called Austin and it's one of the many 12" blocks listed on Quilter's Cache. It's a simple block, but I like it a lot I also cut out the fabrics for this block for the 11 other gals in the swap. I ran into a little snag.....running OUT of the lighter green fabric for two of the other gals. I called the quilt shop and...luckily, I recalled the name of the fabric (as it is a silly name......."I wish, I wish, I'd catch a fish" by Tricia Cribbs for Northcott Fabric. The gal at the quilt shop went to their green shelf and came back to tell me they have a good bit of it left on the bolt. I will go there this morning to get it. While I only need a half-yard more, I will get more of it to keep for myself as I do like that fabric a lot.

It looks great Pat.
Your block is really pretty. This swap is such a good idea.
I'm so glad they have some fabric left for you! The block came out cute!
The block looks fantastic! Don't you just hate it when you run out of a fabric? But you are quite a lucky gal that the quilt shop had some left. Yay!
Looks pretty!! Bummer on running out of fabric, but Yippie they have more!! Tee hee can't wait to see what else you buy!!
Can never go wrong with a star design. Very pretty!
I think my green will match yours very well!! I also ran out of fabric for my own block!! I'm pretty sure there was more of it in Ben Franklin- I'll be going back!! I haven't made a practice block yet - guess I should!
Oh this looks like so much fun. I am going to try to join a swap or 2 this year if I can. Your block is great. Love the colors.

Oh Pat, don't you just hate when that happens, running out of a certain fabric? But it does happen to the best of us, sometimes over and over again... Thank goodness the shop still has some! 8-)
