Sorry I am interested in norway I have a nephew that lives there.

If no one has taken norway I will do this one. Please put me down for norway. Mary

Now what to do with block once you have the pattern? Do I write norway on it? I know I sound dumb, but I have never done this type of project before. Don't mean to be pesty. Mary

grandma1, your write your name, your boardname, your city, & your state on the block. There is someone from Norway in the swap you will get one of her blocks with her information.

Norbanaquilts thank you for the info: and also hokieappmom for the site to go to. This seems to be very easy. Now when finished with blocks where do I send them to?

I have another dumb question. Is this a 1 for 1 swap or do we send a block to every person in the swap? How cool would that be if we could all make a quilt from people across all of the US and may countries of the world!

When you are ready to mail pm me for my address and I'll send it to you.

You send in a block for each person and receive a block back from each person

Right now we have 105 people signed up. I'm making a block for each one, that way I'll get one of everybodys block. As the number of people go up the number of blocks I need to make go up. Clear as mud? :-D :-D :-D

That's why we're trying to get as many as people we can to sign up so we'll have a quilt from around the world!!! How Coool!!

Clear as mud - sign me up! I'm going to go recruit some of my friends to join this as well. Thanks! :D

Welcome to the swap!

Please sign me up also, I want to make a quilt of all these people too.
this is What history is all about. thanks Mary. :P :-P

I would like to sign up for this swap. I have never been in a swap either. I think you are saying I make 1 sig block for everyone who is signing up for the swap. Each block to be a scrappy 3 1/2 unfinished block. At this time there are over 100 people signed up. How do we know how many squares we will have to make. I don't think I want to make a thousand. Do we send blocks to you or to the individuals. Do we receive all the blocks at one time or 1 or 2 at a time? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks. I will be sending an Oklahoma Block.

Sign up closes on May 15th, we'll have a final count then. You will mail all of your blocks to me and I'll mail the blocks from everyone else back to you.

Yeah, We have Hawaii!!!!

Can one join even if no one is needed from her state? I am new here. I signed up several months ago, but I was not techno savy enough to figure it all out or brave enough to jump in and give it a try.

of course you can join, I'll add you to the activiy page

I'm recruited! Please sign me up, too.

If you don't have time to make a block for everyone is that okay? If so I can do good ol'North Dakota.

Fritzy,
No, you can do less, but then you won't get one from everyone, and the blocks are really quick to do.

HI Crafty'
I printed this one off
How many do we have to make?
Looking for it but asking if I dont find it
Thanks ConnieF

Just a quick question regarding the pen to sign the blocks, which is the best one to use?

Gal

mine is a micro pen, but any fabric pen will do.

Here's a link to the activity page with all the info you need. If you still have questions let us know.

I went out and bought fabric pens to match the color in my blocks! :lol: :lol: I really need therapy!!! :lol: :lol: Can't find a burgundy one though. Really is quite upsetting, those are the only ones left that I need to sign.

You could "gasp" sign them in black!

I know but then they wouldn't match!!! :lol: :lol: Told you I needed therapy!!

Count me in! I have a lot of irons in the fire right now that need to get done but I'll really try to get one made for as many people signed up. It's my first swap but it sure sounds like fun to see all the different states & countries that will participate.
