Thanks for taking this on. I am in. Is the fabric to be prewashed?
I was thinking about doing the Empire Star - http://www.quilterscache.com/E/EmpireStarBlock.html
take care, Maribeth

i noticed people are picking blocks from the quilters cache site - is that a requirement to do the swap?
not that there isn't anything there i'd choose - i just want to follow the rule.
also is the background fabric going to be black or white?

Ya'll, those blocks are pretty! I better get crackin' and pick mine out!!
I'm not answering for Colletta, but in the last swap...the background was your choice. I actually made mine 1/2 and 1/2...half on the darker background and half on a lighter background.

I think I'll do this one, Broken Wheel variation. http://www.quilterscache.com/B/Broke...tionBlock.html
Is this a "sampler block"?

Please count me in. This will be my first quilting exchange -- and my first black and white quilt!!! I've done other exchanges in a counted cross stitch board before and have loved it, and have received things from all over the world.
Actually, I would love to do three sets of blocks (we'll see if I can propel into action) and make these quilts for my three kids -- it would be special for them to have so many people working on one quilt. I will post my block pattern(s) later. This is exciting.
