Yes, you just tell Carsey which 2 sets you want to do.

If I sign up for 2 sets, can they be different?

I have had questions about the blocks being the same. Here is what I came up with....
OK. Normally, the swaps are for 12 blocks with the same pattern and fabrics. However sometimes we don't have enough of the same fabrics to finish the 12 blocks. So we use a different fabric to finish the 12 blocks in the same pattern.
Now: We have some people doing embroidery blocks and they might be slightly different.
After thinking about it, I don't have a problem with people sending in 12 blocks that are not all identical.
I don't think any swapper will be harmed by someone making different blocks because they will be getting all differerent blocks back anyway.
If someone has a problem with this addition, please let me know!!!! I just want everyone to have fun doing this swap!!!!
Blessings!

We are glad you want to join us. Your bow tie block sounds great. Just remember it has to be 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches.

OR I could do perhaps a 9 patch block with "winter" colors that would measure 12"X12" and that would be ok too? This sounds like fun, please let me know!
