Friendship x and + Swap Update

The last of my Friendship x & + Swap Blacks in progress!

My online quilting friend Dorian @ Ridge Top Quilts 

and I have been making and swapping these blocks for the last few months.

These blocks are made from the wonderful

x & + Blocks Tutorial

These are the pieces needed for the 8" unfinished block.

My friend and I have decided to to make a medium size lap quilts.

Half of the blocks will be mine and half will be hers.
We have been making six blocks per month and sending three.

Since January, I have been playing catch up most months making and sending blocks every other month. This is a very easy and relaxed swap between two friends who understand each others' more important commitments and that sometimes life just gets in the way of our sewing fun.

Here is the layout for my quilt.

It is 7 rows and 8 columns.

56 Blocks.

The blocks measure 7.5" finished, 

so the quilt will be 54.5" by 62" plus the binding.

I am going to use a gray binding.

Dorian and I decided to use up our scraps and to use some of our gray scraps
 somewhere in each block so I am calling my quilt ... 

"Everything Goes With Gray"

I am making the last of my blocks this week.

Yay!

I will be sewing my top together soon!

Thanks, Dorian, for swapping blocks with me!

I am scrappy and happy!
