QB General Swap Rules:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/member-...-a-t20154.html\
**Please Keep in mind that swap blocks may contain allergens. Please make the decision to either join us or not join us based on what is best for you.**
The Swap is for sets of (4) Blocks. The limit is 5 sets per swapper. 20 Blocks maximum.
No Squares of fabric or DP9's will be counted as a block.
I will trade out all the blocks I receive. Don't forget to make a set for yourself.
****Note**** Blocks sizes are 12.5 only this time. If you want to make 6.5, then you need to make 4 to equal one block. If you want to make a 9.5 block that's fine also. It must be bordered to make it 12.5. (unfinished sizes)
This will make a nice size picnic, lap or donation, QOV (Quilt of Valor) quilt. Or, you could just add borders to make it large enough to make it bed size.
The sets should be the same image/block. But, different fabrics (scrappy) can be used. 100 % cotton fabric must be used.
Any background Fabric can be used as long as it's appropriate for the theme.
Applique blocks must be sewn down!
Embroidery blocks whether hand sewn or machine sewn are fine also.
Mail your blocks to me (or however you see fit) in a priority flat rate envelope using stamps only on the return envelope. (Metered mail expires.) I must return mail it to you by priority mail in order to have a tracking number. Give your package time to get to me please. Make sure to address your return envelope back to yourself. Don't forget to use the proper postage. (Thank you.) Pm me for my address when your ready to send. You can mail whenever your ready.
Place your finished sets in one Large baggie. Make sure your board name is on each block. If your new to the board or just new to swapping, just ask and you will get lots of great suggestions on how to mark your blocks. (I mark mine with the small oblong post its that I pick up at the Dollar Store and sew the on with my machine.)
Should anything come up and you need to withdraw from the swap, just let me know. Life happens sometimes.
So, hope yall will join me again for another great swap here on the Quiltboard.
