Exchange of siggies

Early this year, I joined an international siggy swap and this week, my siggies arrived from our hostess and after playing around with EQ6, this will be my layout.

There are still 2 siggy blocks that are not in this layout but they will be used in my border as corner blocks. Also, two of my blocks were returned to me as two people dropped out and instead of tossing them, they will be used in the body of my quilt.
I am so happy with my treasures and so many thanks to Connie for organizing this swap. There was a lot of time and effort put into the tasks involved …. but just look at my beauty that will soon be mine.
Have a great weekend!

This is a very good layout for your blocks!

I see mine, I see mine!!!! LOL.

What a clever layout. Never thought of that one. I ended up doing something different from what I wanted because the center strips weren't all pieced the same size (as I'm sure you noticed too). I also ended up having to trim all down since 2 were already trimmed to 6". Did you have the same problem?

Anyway..I'm in the process of quilting mine and hope to finish that today. Then binding and I'll post a pic.

What a nice idea with the cornerstones, it looks good already. For me it´s about time to think of what to do with my siggies, I got the 130th today.

Great idea. I was in the smaller swap with Connie so I will have to join another one so I can copy do you mind,

I like that layout. I have some of those same style siggie blocks from a swap a couple of years ago - not in any setting yet! That is a unique setting - very nice. Good idea!

Fantastic quilt! Wonderful that you have signatures from all over the world.

That is a great layout. I have seen this kind of siggies made up in lots of different quilts, but I think I like your layout the best. WTG!

Love the layout - this will be a great quilt. I am impressed that you can do it all in EQ6.
Aren't siggies fun?!

I love the magic that's expressed in this quilt. Then, the way you've created the layout is delightful. You're pretty endless with your design ideas my friend. Pretty darn cool. *karendianne.
