For example...the finished sizes can be, 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 , 6 1/2 x 9 1/2, 9 1/2 x 12 1/2 sized blocks. The max size being 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 . Please do not send just a cut piece of fabric as a block. It won't count towards you block sets and would have to be returned to you.
Hi, I have not joined in on any of your swaps from this site as I am fairly new. I am VERY interested in joining in this one as I love the quilts and blocks that have been shown. I do have a question concerning the sizes you mentioned in the first post. Should the blocks we send in be ex: 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 or is the finished size 6x6?? So the blocks we send in should be 7x7 as to have a finished block of 6 1/2 x 6 1/2??
Sorry, I just wanted to understand this correctly as I am starting on my sample block.
Thank you, Toni Ann
Hi
The size you send are the sizes given in the rules. They have the 1/2" seam allowance included in the block size. I understand how it can be confusing to a beginning swapper. But, don't worry about the other wording for now. OK?
We would enjoy having another swapper in the group. Make sure the background is either a dark or bright fabric for your embroidered blocks. That is all.
