This is my first time doing this swap also. I watched my daughter doing her blocks with last swap and kicked butt for not joining when she mentioned it to me but felt at time I already had too many commitments. But watching all the fun the group was having it would have been worth being a bit stressed over getting them done in time. Now I am anxiously waiting to get started on this swap even though I have many irons already in the pot with NYB blocks, PaintmeJudy's 3rd mystery quilt not finished, and quilt for quilters swap and Wyldwytch's quilt along. Guess I like stress of this sort long asit lets me sew and quilt. Where are my names and addresses? envelopes bursting with f8's waiting to be made into fabulous creations? I hate waiting....

I love the rosees, they woudl sure becool as corners are centers, are oh all around, so pretty the grey is interesting also
I went to Joann's today with the intention of just stocking up on some Kona cotton solids they have on sale. I realized during my last Boom that I did not have very much solid fabrics. It's on sale for 40% off. I was able to find some really nice blender fabric on sale also. I was planning on searching the internet for the fabric I am going to send but it jumped right out at me at Joann's 
I'm doing 1 large and a small group or 3 small depending on how April breaks it down (thinking about doing an extra small one 
) One group will get the 3 coordinating fabrics-thinking 'shabby chic', very feminine; the other group(s) will get the grey print. I haven't decided what to ask with the grey one yet-a touch of pink?, white, grey tonals?, any suggestions??? will try to get washed,cut and packaged this weekend but I have my row robin to work on.

I look at some of the photos people get from these swaps, and I'm really tempted to join. Just not sure of the costs involved with being in the UK - and I'm thinking both for myself and for everyone else. Are there any other internationals who've played before who might have an idea?

We've had international swappers before - Scotland, England, Australia, Ireland that I can think of. I believe it was a little over $1. for us to send to you. The real expense is for you to send to everyone. Hope this helps. Would love to have you join, it's a treat to have someone that may have access to different fabric and ideas!

Would be great for you to join, you could start with a small group to see how you like it. I don't mind the mailing cost, it's really not to bad.

I am new to the quilting board and joined just for this swap. I am a beginner quilter and am excited but also nervous. I am hoping to learn a lot of new blocks to try! What does 12.5" unfinished mean? What should the block size be after I am all done sewing it? Thanks for all your help in advance!
So don't be nervous and have FUN!!Hugs
April
