How many, so far, have signed on?....
Yes. If you send 6 blocks, you'll get 6 blocks in return. Hopefully, we'll have enough swappers that you won't get any of your own blocks back but that is a possibility, depending on how many swappers we have.

It would be best if each Hunter Star block is different - - - would make for a much scrappier quilt.

Evie - I think you could use a 10" square for each half of the block; one dark and one light. Keep in mind you'll need a 4 1/2" dark square
a 4 1/2" light square
and 8 HST's from the dark/light combo.

Any color preferences? (brights, fall, winter, spring, muted, etc. ) Any genre preferences? (civil war, modern, 1930's, holiday , baby etc) Or pull out of the bag all over scrappy?

That's what I plan on doing. I drafted the pieces on graph paper and it comes out just right. I'm pretty sure I'll do this, but I'll let you know for sure by end of the week.
