My favorite block!!! I'm in!

Here's an active link for the pattern link above:

Also--do we need to watch for the direction of the swirls? The ones in the picture are going counter clockwise, but my pattern makes them going the other way.

Thanks for the active link, Your swril can go either way make sure it is a four patch in the middle thou. I've seem some with a sold colored center. Again thanks for the help.

Holy Mackeral! I spent about an hour with my quilting sister today just choosing fabrics for the blocks I have to make by Aug 31! The good news is I didn't have to go out and buy any more fabric, the not-so-good-news, well, not bad news, kind of neutral news...anyway, I'm overwhelmed byt he number I signed up for--LOL--not asking for help, just a little venting and taking-of-a-deep-breath before diving into cutting and sewing--there were certainly a lot of quilting swaps to sign up for in the last couple of months--I'm just going to watch out for the number of partners next time!

I do love this Snail Trail though! :)

I love more partners it forces me to make more and in return get more. It takes about 30 mins per snail tail for me from cutting, to finshed block. I will keep up the block of the month with differnt patterns than the other current swaps on swap bot. It makes me try new things and have a great start on some holiday presents. Like four snail trail tore bags. Thank you all for signing up.
