On the next paragraph: I understand that I make 4 RF (say red/white/blue) and that will equal 1 set. For my 3 sets (of the same fabric I think) I make a total of 12 r/w/b RF (4x3=12) = which is 1 of 9 sets that I can send in??????? Then I use 8 other fabric combination to make up 8 more sets????? IS THE LIGHT IN THE CENTER? OR DOES IT EVEN MATTER? |

I hope that she is okay also. We haven't heard from her. Perhaps soon we will.

I wasn't sure that the 3 sets of four small block units (12 blocks units)needed to be the same color combo. I'm thinking scrappy so anything goes in my mind. Just need some direction and I am ready to start sewing. I have lo\ts of 2.5 strips already cut.

Sorry for not posting sooner!
It is up to you whether or not you want to make 4 units using the same color. I would however prefer that you do not use the same fabrics for all 9 sets. Quiltinghere, since this is scrappy it doesn't matter either way. Yes, just make the 4 units that you'd normally sew into a block and then don't sew them together. You can choose whether to use same fabrics(for each 4 unit set) or not. \ Hope this is clear, if not, pm me. |
I'm in.
|
Ok I am in for 9 sets. Sending PM now. My fabrics will be very colorful and mostly contemporary prints. I hope that is ok.
|
Great!
Please make sure when you sign up to put number of sets.. |
OK for final clarification for this blonde.......for the 9 sets.......I need 36 (3- 2 1/2 X 6 1/2 inch rail blocks). [4 x 9 = 36] Yes???? Whew!!!!

To my understanding, (4) completed units measuring @ 6.5" equals (1) set......is this correct?
And the minimum total sets to make per swap is (12) units Or Sets..., equals (3) Not Sewn together blocks, is this correct? |
