I am interested in the 9 patch winter theme blocks but didn't see any announcement yet. Did I miss something about it or have you put out any notice yet?

I haven't decided on a firm date yet. .It will be posted hopefully by the 2nd week in 'April. I'm returning home the first week in April and have started my packing for the return.. It takes me awhile plus I have some charity quilts to finish up before I leave.


Those of you returning to do another swap please read the rules and regulations so that you know what is correct and the type of blocks etc.


I want to thank all of you that participated in this swap, My first.

Hi Everyone, I've been very busy doing so much of everything except sewing.

I'll be posting the new thread for the Holiday/Winter 9 Patch on the 22nd of April the day after Easter. Sorry it's taken so long for me to decide on a firm date. Life tends to get in the way sometimes. Just remember no white patches, keeping any beige or tans on the very light side. Cream is good also.

You never know what you are going to get in a swap. I've been very disappointed too, so much that I really don't swap much anymore.

May I hone in to say... you should not be measuring your squares by laying them on a mat or a ruler... very inaccurate. They are only going to be accurately measured if you place a ruler on top of them, as you would when trimming. If you are swapping 6.5" squares, then you should own a 6.5" square ruler, so you can check and trim with it. If you are in a 12.5" block swap, you need to own a 12.5" square ruler. Always put the ruler on top to measure.

sewbizgirl, Thanks for the good advice. I appreciate it.
