AUGUST - Scrappy Block Swap – SCRAPPY TRIPS
#51
Sheri - Missouri Star has a video demonstrating the technique and Jenny uses 4 2 1/2" strips. I don't know the size of the finished block in that demo. I think 9 1/2" unfinished but not sure. There are many other variables/decisions/choices to be made which is why I'd like some input from the group.

Sewed on these today, I have 1 more set to go to make 6 sets of 4. Jane I tried to find the link for Sept. but couldn't find what you were talking about or some pics to show. Do you have a link I can go to??? Would appreciate it when you have the time.

Not sure if I will get to join you or not since I will be out of pocket a good deal the next few weeks. However in case I do get to do this, I want to be sure that it would be ok for each block in a set to be different fabrics from the others in the set. I think that's what you indicated, but I wanted to verify.
This looks like a lot of fun and a great way to use up those bits and pieces that are left over.

Mom 6 - yes, each block is different. Hope you decide to jump in!
Jaba - I haven't 'officially' started the September swap. Was just discussing different options, etc. To see the block though, please Google 'Three Dudes quilt block' and you'll find loads of pictures and a Youtube video from Missouri Star demo-ing the block. I'm still working out several details but that will give you a good idea. It's really a cool block.
Here's our update. We have new swappers joining in so please make them feel welcome!

Found it, now I remember watching the video when she 1st showed it. I think it would look really nice with the blocks made in the same color family shades. Have 1 block ready to sew the strips together, then 3 more to go and I'll have 6 sets for the August scrappy. They will be coming your way soon...
