I have not been in one of these swaps before. How does it work? Hom many do we make of the blocks? and do they all have to be the same or can they be different? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks you guys for being patient with me.
i'm not colletta but i'll answer the questions, i'm sure she's sleeping and i'm still wide awake.
1 set consists of 12 blocks, all the same block design, and you can use different fabrics as long as its within the color guidelines - some people like to use fat quarters to make the blocks and thats fine.
you have to wash the fabric before making the blocks.
each block measures 12.5 inches unfinished that way when people sew them into a project they finish at 12 inches.
some people do as many sets that will allow them to receive one of every blocks being made.
for example, if 36 people are in the swap you would have to make 3 sets in order to receive 1 of each block.
when your set(s) are complete you just email colletta for her address and send them in allow with a prepaid self address envelope. make sure to pin or stick a label on each block with your forum user name.
once colletta has rec'd everyones blocks she will mail back 1 of your blocks and 11 blocks from other people in the swap.
i think that covers everything but if i missed something i'm sure someone will post it.
