I'm getting excited about this swap. I have choosen my fabric washed ironed cut and bagged ready for the list to come . I've chosen all the same fabric to send and will also send along a piece of quilters muslim and ask the group to name sign and date their block if thats allowed.

You can appliqué if you wish. All up to you. Usually there are 16-20 people in the small group. It's all fun!!!

that is allowed. you can send the muslim for people to sign :) I am gearing up. finished minus one row of border my rubies quilt enough left over to make a wall hanging that coordinates! those are the applique blocks as I was so worried they might not wash as often as the pieced. If you do applique its really nice to get a satin stitch around the edge to make sure that they are washer friendly. even with fusible underneath a straight stitch around the edge will fray over several washes same with the pretty blanket stitch which I love to use on applique too. No rules but thats just my humble washable opinion. Big groups are fun too.. quick join a big one. it worked out so so few blocks a week even with over 50 last time I finished in half the alloted time. "LUKE COME OVER TO THE LARGE GROUP SIZE" imagine what you can do with 35 blocks!! one great quilt or maybe a couple crib quilts or a few wall hangings for gifts, a cozy just for you! or table mats go check out diamonds and Jabas placemats they came out wonderful. (how am I doing guys anyone else join yet?) wait! Yosemitesa.. get out those pom poms! its.. song and dance time.. COME ON OVER TO THE QUILTY SIDE! come on over to the ..

oh yes everyone get well immediately. it has been said so shall it be done. (tada)

Fabric washed, ironed , cut and bagged. Can't wait to start.

This will only be my second time...How do you guys know how many will be in your group? sm or lg? I've joined a small group again but didn't want to get cutting til I knew how many there would be :) Help me.

tlambing read the 1st page. April tries to keep this very close. 18X11" pieces, small group you will send out 15 plus 1 for yourself so you end up with 16 blocks, large group send 35 plus 1 for yourself, end up with 36. Can we see some sneak pics at the fabrics some of you have ready to go? Then maybe I get an idea of what I have to go with it or if I need to make sure to get some blues, yellows,etc. Well not really, just snoopy want to peak. Pics Pics please.....

Thanks jaba. I guess I stopped reading too soon. Scanned again but didn't see it. Maybe my adult onset attention deficit disorder has finally gotten the better of me ;) I'll get cutting this afternoon!

I was think abouat this adult onset attention deficit disorder. Hmmmmmm I am thinking that people who do crafts like quilting, knitting, etc. have craft attention deficit disorder or CADD. that's why we have lots of UFO's, many projects going at once, and just keep creative juices flowing. What do you all think? How many of us have CADD

Me me me I have CADD...

Hi Everyone,
I still do not have enough for a large group so perhaps those who want a large maybe two small?? There is still time for signups so get your friends and family to join us so we can do one large and lots of smalls lol. I had had my fabric picked out for this go round but I am still not sure if I am going to join in this round or not lol
Hugs
April
