Sleep?? Yes, & No. Some nights I'm up by 1am for the rest of the night (after going to bed at 12!!) I can spend so much more time on here then without feeling guilty!! It doesn't happen but once or so a week, I'm tying to stick to a more human schedule, but it just does't last for long:)

I agree with Lindyline, so long as Santa features on the fabric I think that would work just fine!

I think if "santa" is some way involved in the square, it is a santa block for the swap. Different ideas, techniques, patterns and fabrics is what makes each block unique. I want my swapped blocks to be as individual as the people who are making them!!! So......as long as I see a Santa in my block somewhere, I will be very happy!

I have fabrics in hand but am still trying to make a Santa that doesn't look frightening ;-)

I'm glad we can use Santa fabric and make a more traditional block as that is what I had planned.

Thank you. :)
I see that I'm in the minority, but I would prefer a block with a pieced, appliqued, paper-pieced or embroidered Santa instead of a traditional block with Christmas fabric or printed Santas. This is, after all, a "Santa Block Swap" not a traditional block with Christmas fabri swap. Just my opinion. Belles
