Calling all Darkside Star Swap Swappers ....

OYez, OYez, OYez

I call upon all Ye Darkside Star Block Swappers

Yes Ye, from the year of 2015 !!!
(WOW! Was it really that long ago?)

I proclaim that I, Iminei
am finally going to complete my Star Swap Quilt
and humbly beg of TWO more Blocks from ye.

Therefore if it pleases ye, could ye please avail me of ...

A SINGLE Half Square Triangle Block in the colours of Fire and Sun

and also

A SINGLE Half Square Triangle Block in the colours of Fire and Sun and also of Plain BLACK

The measurement of ye blocks, unfinished, should be 3 1/2"

OYez, OYez, OYez

Here ends the proclamation!

Sorry for that bit of silliness but I do wonder if those of you that took part in our Star Block Swap of 2015, would make me just two more HSTs  which I would use to piece a final star for the backing fabric.

I realise we have lost two of our Darksiders, Fabric Floosie and Quilty Sisty and I doubt Sakar has time now that Wolfgang has taken over her life but maybe there are a couple of new Darksiders who might step into the breach???

To refresh your memories, take a look at the Darksides Star Block Swap Album here ....

Hope you dont think Im too cheeky for asking .....

@Iminei  Are you asking for another star block in red and yellow with black background?
I'm sure I'll be able to manage something - remind me of the size.

Hi @Iminei , that’s no problem. Am I right in thinking you just want one half square triangle with 2 ‘fire’ colours and another one triangle half black, half fire? If so , then I’ll send 2 of each as when I make them there are always 2 of each.

I finished mine 2016 (I think so)  :D

@Iminei: I don't promise anything, but I will have a look to the blocks. 2 HST shouldn't be that time consuming ;)

I must be extremely thick but I really really don't understand what it is you want. Triangles of fabric, a square made up of 2 hsts or a star block. Please post a photo

Imagine the grey patterned fabric is a plain BLACK and that the green/blue fabrics are your choice of fabrics in colours of Fire and Sun .....
