Here is the quilt I made for Alexis for the same swap, she has received it!

This was a blind swap, we didn't know who had our name.

For this swap we were to make a traditional block in a modern format.

I found out Alexis watches True Blood (so do I, and I have read most of the Sookie series) so I was excited, and she likes pink so I had to work that in.

I decided to design a block inspired by these things.

I embroidered drops of blood using Aurifil 12 wt cotton thread.

The fabric making up the hourglass represents drops of blood and the green trees on the sides represent the woods between Sookie and Bill's houses.

The swap was fun, I may have to do this again!
