Sign me up for an "Over-active, Tentative YES". I will know by the 31st if this becomes "RESOUNDING". I look forward to swapping!

Motorcyclemad, I'll sign you up but next time PM me instead of just posting on the thread.

Morning - I would like to sign up for thus swap. I have made the maple leaf quilt with a cream backbround and really like it. I am into fall colors so will try one with black.

Just had what I hope is a bright idea. . .since I have smaller pieces of several coordinating fall color fabrics. . .how about doing the leaves scrappy? If I do that I will only need a small amount of each fabric. And can still make 12 all alike.

How are measuring and cutting to add the extra half inch? I just finished up the Fall Dresdan plate swap and I want to get started on this right away, so I hope someone can help.

This is the one I used and it came to be 12 1/2" block

That's ok as long as they are still all alike :)

Is there a way to just use thangles except for the stem?

question...."doing the leaves scrappy?" does this mean that the leaf itself could have different pieces/patterns within itself, yet all 12 squares would be the same?
