***NEW***

I have a request. I am requesting that each swapper enclose One extra block inthe swap theme. This block can be 6.5 or 9.5 or 12.5 inch square. This is ajust in case block. In case the mail messes up and things go awry. If I needthem, I will use them. I hate to disappoint anyone. If I don't need them, I willhold a drawing 2 weeks after the swap blocks have been mailed out, and whoeverwins, I will send them the extra blocks. I will take care of the postage. I dothank you for helping me out.

Now, let's share early fabric pulls, ideas, and blocks and have a little fun.

This sounds wonderful Armylady. But, I think I will sit this one out. (As I have so many winter and Snowmen swaps under my belt that I need to do something with.) But, I will be cheering on from the side lines. I know you will have a lot of fun.

I'll be lurking, and I might end up NEEDING to join :) I really want to finish up the fall themed blocks, so it might end up being too much on my plate. We'll see. I'll be watching for sure. 12.5" is my favorite size for themed quilts so I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Count me in! This will be my first swap on this board. I have loved all your fall blocks, I'm happy to be apart!

Hi ladies. Other time commitments don't allow me to join in this swap but I will be keeping up with this thread so I can watch and admire all the blocks you come up with.

Do you think penquins will be okay?

I'd say yes! They're a wintertime animal. Cute too. I'm hoping to see your pretty snowflake!

This is my little chill spot. He's so cold he needs a scarf! French knots for eyes!

Howdy!!

Question: Are you looking for applique? Or would a 'pieced' something in 'wintry' fabrics fit too?

i LOVE the penguins!

Another question: could a 'set' be 4 of the exact same block/fabrics? Or are you looking for 4 of the same block but in different fabrics?
