I love the idea of using the same block , but can use different fabrics. How in the world by the way do you have the time to be in so many exchanges. You are super woman.
yes, you can use different fabric across the 12 blocks as long as it fits into the color rules of the swap.
for the yellow & blue swap i used 2 different yellow fabrics and 3 different blue fabrics, i did 4 blocks all the same, then i switched to other fabrics.
this way there's something for everyone because there are many shades of yellow and blue.
i spend a lot of time sewing. when i started to make products for sale i didn't have many options - it was sew or else i won't have money for college.
now 8 years later its become a way of life. DH & i both have studios in the house just so we can spend more time being artistic.
it certainly helps having a creative husband because he understands when i say i just can't cook or clean right now.
