UPDATE ON THE BLACK/WHITE/BRIGHT SWAP
Due to the overwhelming response to this swap, it was necessary to close the swap early. There are now 94 of us participating. Because of the large number, it will be very important for everyone to follow the swap rules precisely. Please read the following, as this is what you have agreed to do.
All fabrics used in the blocks should be prewashed and pressed 100% cotton. If during the construction process, your blocks have been exposed to smoke, perfume or animals, they should be washed and pressed again before sending them. Blocks that are non-compliant will be returned.
All blocks must be 12-1/2 x 12-1/2" with all seams appropriately pressed. Please measure your blocks before sending them. Blocks that are non-compliant will be returned.
The colors used in this swap are limited to black, white, black on white, white on black and brights.
Blocks should be made in sets of 12 of the same block pattern. Each block should be labeled individually with at least your screen name and the block name. Do not package the blocks in individual baggies, as they are very difficult to count.
For each set submitted, one of your blocks will be returned to you along with eleven others.
Each person should submit a self-addressed, stamped envelope with adequate postage affixed. With this many to keep track of, I will not be able to accept checks or loose stamps, and will not provide envelopes. The postage on your return envelope should be the same amount that you put on the envelope that your blocks are submitted in. Blocks received without a self-addressed, stamped envelope will be retained until the correct envelope is received.
The activity page for this swap is accessible from p. 1 of this thread. Please check the page to be sure that the correct number of sets, as well as the correct block names are recorded for you. If corrections are necessary, please PM me. Even though the swap is closed, you may still increase the number of sets to be submitted if you wish, but should PM me so that I may keep accurate records.
The deadline for submitting your blocks is October 15th. This deadline will not be extended.
If you have signed up for this swap, and will not be able to participate, please let me know by PM as soon as possible so that I can remove you from the list.
Any questions, please PM me. I think we have the potential for an awesome swap!
