Down on the Farm Block Swap
#21
Just to remind everyone that not all your blocks need to square. The largest size combo can only be 12 1/2 X 12 1/2. I already have a 6 1/2 X 9 1/2 in the works.

Here were the swap guidelines for this swap-
This swap calls for quote" I see chickens, pigs, cows, horses, dogs, cats, goats, sheep and more in a rainbow of colors and styles. Applique, pieced, paper-pieced but no DP9s, no fabric squares and no fussy cuts with novelty prints. I want you to challenge yourselves to create an actual animal for your blocks! Honestly, I can’t wait to make a pieced cow."

Annaquilts thank you for sharing your past swap and the links for the other farm animal ideas. I love that sheep block toward the bottom.

GracefulAnn could you give me some more input on the color scheme. I think the previous swap I was in was maybe more muted/natural then you are looking for. Is it possible to make a picture of the colors you are looking for? A snap shot of FQ in the colors you want?

I don't mind barns or fences but I don't want that to over shadow the real swap and I don't want to discourage participation by excluding those items.
If you would like to include farm structures, pm me and I will determine whether to add those items.

FYI, I love to find easy free kids colouring pages online for applique patterns. They are cute and so many options. Hopefully this is a tip to anyone who's not sure how to collect farm patterns easily and cheap.

This could be a great quilt for grandchildren, and our preschooler nephew and nieces. This is almost like an I spy. I can see a variety of different sheep, pigs, and cows in this swap. Hope to see a few deer and a barn owl. This swap will surely be a baby quilt.
