This is my block. I like to finish my block as soon as I get the bag. That way it is finished if something happens between now and the next meeting that prevents me from finishing.
There are 16 people in the exchange this time so we are just over half way finished. Each month we exchange bags and look at all the blocks for each participant. It is so much fun to see what each of us does with other members fabrics.
This is the second exchange I have participated in. Sadly, I have not put together my blocks from the last exchange. I seem to fill my time working on projects for other people.
I am still working on the farm quilt. Now that school has started and I have gone back to work I find that my quilting time has slowed down. Kindergarten makes me tired! The first few weeks always seem rough what with everyone learning new faces and new routines. I have a completely new schedule this year with some new duties added in. Several of the students this year did not go to any type of preschool or day care and they are struggling with the routines and rules. One young man has cried for a good part of each day. He says he just wants to go home and watch TV. The first day another young man refused to get on the bus. He wanted to go home. We explained the bus would be taking him home. One teacher even said he would ride with him. Nope, not getting on that bus! Dad was called and he came to get him. He had a stern talk with the student and there has not been a problem since!
Now I am off the get as much sewing done as I can - before I get to go bale hay... again. I spent yesterday afternoon baling, too. And, the yard needs mowed again. That will be one nice thing about cooler weather - no more hay or mowing of the yard.

I really like your exchange block. Sounds like a fun project for a group of sewing buddies. My daughter-in-law teaches kindergarten and she tells stories that are similar to yours. Must be fun though to see the progress from the first of the year to the end!
