Quilt Around the World

My Saturday and a couple of hours on Sunday were spent working on the sewing caddies. They are still works in progress. They are taking longer than I thought they would.
I was invited by Jane to join a block swap. This one is called Quilt Around the World. The theme is Christmas. So this little Christmas tree is going to make the rounds. One quilter will add a block and then another, and another until all the blocks make there way back to me.
This tree pattern is from an ePattern that I got from Piece O' Cake. It is called The Christmas Trees.
This should be a fun swap. I am looking forward to seeing each person's blocks. Now back to sewing caddies.

With Passion,
Carrie P.
