January Batik Disappearing 4 Patch Swap - sign-ups closed
 

JANUARY BATIK DISAPPEARING FOUR PATCH swap - Sign-ups open until January 30th. Each month is loads of fun with a wide variety of fabrics in each swap. Sew much fun!


Welcome to our monthly D4P swap. Here’s how it works: we will all be making 8 ½” unfinished D4P quilt blocks in a different theme each month. One set equals 6 D4P blocks. You may make as many as 6 sets of 6 blocks each which would be thirty-six (36) D4P blocks. Wow! That’s a lot of quilt blocks. Imagine how cool that quilt will be??? I know! Right??? If you are making one set, you may either make all the blocks using the same theme fabric(s) or you may make each block using a different theme fabric(s). If you are making more than one set (up to 6 sets), please use a different theme fabric in each set.


January’s theme is BATIKS. Please use ONE BATIK FABRIC AND SOLID BLACK PER BLOCK.


In case you’ve never made a D4P quilt block, here are the instructions:

REVISED 11/20/13 jer

So, if I send in one set using different batik fabric, I will get back 6 blocks of different fabrics, right? And every month through 2014 we will have different block themes to make in the D4P? Just want to make sure so I know what my possibilities are.

Sustraley, are you considering making a 12-month quilt ..... one block from each month? just wondering .....

I am in for another 6 sets. Can't wait to see all the different batiks that come in.

Thinking about it....

Mary Mo-I have no clue-as usual. Trying to figure it all out first. That might be a good idea though.

Yes, yes, and yes. Each month we have a different theme. November was 30's reproduction, December is black/white/brights and our new one - - - January is Batiks. We're really having lots of fun.

Hope you decide to play with us!

Is the black just plain black or does it have to be a batik black?

I have batiks but really haven't used them so I don't know if I can find a batik black that looks solid? Am I confused?

Do you happen to have a sample picture of this arrangement?

Please & Thanks

Please use a SOLID BLACK, i.e., Kona solid or Moda Bella Black are examples. No, we're not using Batik black as it's too inconsistent; too many variables.

I'll post an example sometime this weekend.
