    Default Scrappy Hunter Star Block Swap

    SCRAPPY HUNTER STAR BLOCK SWAP
    Welcome to our Hunter Star block swap. I’ve hosted block swaps in the past and am excited to offer another swap. We will be making scrappy Hunter Star blocks 8 ½” unfinished using the easier method. ((see below)). I would like to see how much interest there is.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]554442[/ATTACH]

    Please use any one print for the units shown in ‘gold’ and a white, white tone-on-tone or other light-colored fabric for the other half of the quilt block.

    Print fabric: (same print per block)
    4 ½” square

    Light colored fabric: (same print per block) A very small print is okay.
    4 ½” square

    8 Half Square Triangles (HST’s) 2 ½” from the print/light background fabric.

    We will be making these blocks in sets of six. You may make/send as many as 6 sets of six blocks (36 blocks) to be swapped.

    The mailing deadline will be August 15[SUP]th[/SUP]. Please include $6.80 for a return Padded Flat Rate Envelope.
    BE SURE to include your full mailing address. We will be making and swapping Hunter Star blocks each month so we all will have a great scrappy assortment for our quilts!!

    Let’s get started!!

    Nope. There is no link. I provided a picture and measurements. Google Hunter Star quilts and you'll see lots of examples.

    These will make gorgeous quilts! I'd love to join, but let me see if I can get them made in time, first. Craft fair season is just around the corner, and I have sooooo much to do ... plus I'm in both groups in the Boom swap. Aaahhh! Not enough hours in the day! I'll let you know well before the mailing deadline.

    Moonrise!!! So nice to hear from you. Right now, I'm trying to get a 'feel' for how much interest there is. I'm thinking we would need at least 8-10 swappers for this to work well.

    We'll see - - - - - -

    So we end up with a scrappy quilt made up of 36 same blocks times the number of months this goes on & ends up with what approx size quilt?

    Another question: Is the commitment by-the-month, or do we have to commit to a certain number of months? Thanks!

    Good questions, ladies - -

    I will offer this monthly swap as long as people want to participate. There is no long-term commitment. It's month-to-month.

    For example, if you make/swap 36 blocks/month x 6 months = 216 blocks!!! Wow!!!

    That would make a king-sized quit approx. 108" square. ((and it would be gorgeous!!!))

    Now you certainly don't HAVE to make 36 per month. That's just an example and you don't HAVE to necessarily participate for 6 months. So many variables!! So many decisions!!

    You may participate as long as you like!

    Hope that helps - - -
