These are the Blue John Blocks I have sent to quilting friends around the world as part of a friendship block swap. They were a surprise for my fellow swappers so I couldn't put them on my blog until I was sure they had arrived.
It was arranged by Nancy Leston in Canada and involved 24 quilters. We each had to make a block with a finished size of 12.5 inches square (for a 12" block).
Participating in this swap has really helped me to develop the design as a paper pieced pattern and is now the basis for a design and paper piecing workshop.

Hope you have enjoyed some of the combinations I made. It is a really dynamic block and I am very pleased with how it has worked out. This is only the beginning of the Blue John Block family and I will share the development of my special block with you.
