Spring Swap with Lavender/pink/green

12 1/2 inch UNFINISHED Lavender/pink/green/white sampler blocks.

Please use 100% PREWASHED cotton (required) and make sure your blocks measure 12 ½".

You make 12 blocks, all alike and send them to me along with a self addressed, stamped envelope for return postage, what ever it cost to send it to me, it will cost to return your blocks to you. Please be sure to put enough postage on your envelope.

I will send you back one of your blocks and one each of 11 different blocks..

Please mark each of your blocks with a little slip of paper pinned to the block or a sticky label with your message board id and if you want to, your real name, city and state. It is nice to know who made the blocks and where they came from.

If you want to make multiple sets, just make sure you have 12 blocks of each pattern. You will receive back as many as you send.

The swap is open to and welcomes members of all skill levels.

Mail your blocks to me by March 31, 2010

I will mail them back out by April 15, 2010 or as soon as possible.

If you want to post what block you are making, we can try to keep them all as different as possible.

yes, white can be used

wilhelmina 01-11-2010 07:35 PM

Decisions, decisions - My blocks will be machine applique blocks - I can't resist a flower with these colors! It will be a Peony with the steam and a couple leaves. Buying the fabric tomorrow!

Bailey's mom 01-12-2010 09:06 AM

I made a decision ...contrary wife...

cjt_mama 01-12-2010 03:02 PM

OK, I am in for at least one set so far.. Its a 9-patch variation (stuck with something I knew I could do easily lol). I am hoping to add one more set, so I get 24 back. We shall see when I get these ones done :)

quiltnut4ever 01-12-2010 05:23 PM

Count me in! I'm going to do one set of the Baby Bud from quilter's cache.

i have a fabric choice question.

please let me know if either of these are acceptable to be used in the swap.

please don't hesitate to tell me no - they each have some additional color which is not part of the guidelines and i don't want anyone to be unhappy with the blocks.

i pulled them from my stash because the remind me of spring.

Klue -- I love the tulips fabric! To me they both scream spring.

alaskasunshine 01-13-2010 03:34 PM

I love the fabrics but the orange is what I see most. I think it would be better to stay with the colors as much as possible. But then again there was a post of a black/white quilt recently that had colors in it and it was very pretty. What does the leader say???? I hope to use my stash too to save $$$.

NorBanaquilts 01-13-2010 03:53 PM

Klue if you don't mind waiting a couple of days lets see what the majority of the group says about your fabric. I like both fabrics but I don't think they fit in the pink/lavender/green category.

i don't mind waiting.

like i said, i want people to say no if thats how they feel - i can find other fabric, i want everyone to be happy with the selection.

charismah 01-13-2010 04:18 PM

I like the pansies for Klue's blocks. I would vote "no" on the tulips. Pretty pansies fabric though.

charismah 01-13-2010 04:19 PM

I want to use my stash as well..but I did but a green and purple fabric recently with this blcok in mind...so I may have to buy some otehrs anyhow..lol. Life is rough i guess.
