Welcome!!

We are starting a new swap with Wall Hangings!

Here is how the Swap works!

June - You make one quilt block of your choice
July - You make one quilt block of your choice
Aug. - You make one quilt block of your choice
Sept - You make one quilt block of your choice
Oct. – Construct your quilt blocks into a wall hanging

Oct 31[SUP]st[/SUP] - All wall hangings that are posted as pics will be entered
into the drawing
If posting a picture is a problem for you let me know and I will help

Nov 1[SUP]st[/SUP] - I will draw names and addresses and send each quilter
the address they will send their wall hanging to.

Please Post Pics of: Not required but this would be great if you can

Your Fabric you are going to use or thinking of using
Embellishments you are using
Progress pictures would be nice!!
Each month post a pic of the quilt block you made
You can post pictures of the quilt blocks you are thinking of doing also

I would like to see some sharing of ideas and conversation along the way!!
That is the really fun part!!

Requirements:

100% Cotton
Prewashing or not is up to you

Sign up:

Just post on the thread if you are willing to enter a wall hanging.
There will be no end to the sign up.
If anyone wants to catch up and send in a wall hanging by Oct 31st that is fine with me.

Size and Type of Quilt Block:

A wall hanging should be smaller than a lap quilt but larger than a mug rug.
You can use any type of quilt block and any style any colors.
Ebellishments are a fun way to add to your wall hanging if you like

Layout and Quilting Your Wall Hanging:

You can put your top together any way you want to. You can add more blocks
the same size or smaller or anything you like.
Setting design can be as simple as sewing your quilt blocks together or adding
sashing between blocks or you can use your creativity and make up anything
you can dream up.

You can quilt it or tie it or any method you want to use.
If you have anyone else quilt it please remember to give credit where it is due.

I hope you decide to join us and have a lot of fun!!


Please make sure to read the general rules that apply to all swaps here at the Quilting Board: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-20154-1.htm

This sounds fun...my only concern is dh and my only son is getting married in July, which is awesome...and keeping me busy! I am so tempted to sign up, but I don't want to commit to something I can't finish...lets see, I bet I can do June and July blocks end of July, then go from there...lol...So, lets throw caution to the wind, and sign me up!

Congrats to your son and you on the upcoming wedding!! It's such an exciting time!

Thanks for joining!! You actually have until the end of Oct to get your wall hanging done and a picture turned in. So if you need to rearrange your time to do it that isn't a problem for me.

Rhonda

I'll start a sign up list but remember there is no end of sign up. If you want to join us any time feel free to do so!!

This sounds like it would be fun. I have never made a wall hanging before. I would like to join in.

I've never done anything as small as a wallhanging but count me in too! My weakness is the actual quilting part so I need to start practicing....

I love wall hangings and making one for a swap sounds like fun to me. This would be a good time to make a Thanksgiving or Christmas one. So, add me to the list!
