Welcome to Bonnie Hunter's "Happy Scrappy Houses" swap! Sign ups close on September 13th. Blocks are due to me NO LATER than November 8th. I'll mail blocks back to you by November 15th.
Sign up by pm’ing me your real name and address and number of sets you want to swap.
We will be making scrappy houses as per Bonnie's free pattern on her blog
https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005...py-houses.html . (We do have her permission too.) We are swapping sets of 5 blocks per gallon zip lock bag, up to 6 bags. Bags must contain 5 completely different blocks (no repeating fabrics per set.) No duplicates in any one bag. I need the bags ready to swap bag-for-bag. We want to get the greatest range of scrappy goodness here!
Please use good fabric in your blocks… like you would hope to receive. 100% cotton, only. No thin fabrics. If you have to starch it to make it acceptable, don’t use it for this swap. Prewashed fabric doesn’t matter in pieces this size, so just use what you have. Choose prints that look fun together!
Your blocks must measure a true 9.5” for a finished 9" in the quilt. Try to keep your seam allowance as close to a good consistent 1/4". No tiny 1/8" seams! I will be checking blocks before swapping them out so that no one gets unusable blocks.
Please put your board name on each baggie. Before mailing, put all your bags into a big gallon bag with your name and address clearly on the bag, along with your board name. Then ship in a padded flat rate envelope with USPS tracking. No paper envelopes, as they don’t hold up. Be sure to include your return postage. I believe it’s $8.80 now for the padded flat rate envelopes I will use for U.S. shipping. When you ship please PM me the tracking number.
This swap is open to international swappers but you have to include the return international shipping cost. We would love you to join us too!
Board participation is a must for a successful swap. If you intend to sign up and never chat, please just make blocks to keep and not sign up. We want to hear from y'all and chat as we make and swap houses!
Now let's have fun and stitch up a neighborhood!
