Hi, I have not joined in on any of your swaps from this site as I am fairly new. I am VERY interested in joining in this one as I love the quilts and blocks that have been shown. I do have a question concerning the sizes you mentioned in the first post. Should the blocks we send in be ex: 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 or is the finished size 6x6?? So the blocks we send in should be 7x7 as to have a finished block of 6 1/2 x 6 1/2??
Sorry, I just wanted to understand this correctly as I am starting on my sample block.
Thank you, Toni Ann

Hi
The size you send are the sizes given in the rules. They have the 1/2" seam allowance included in the block size. I understand how it can be confusing to a beginning swapper. But, don't worry about the other wording for now. OK?
We would enjoy having another swapper in the group. Make sure the background is either a dark or bright fabric for your embroidered blocks. That is all.

with or without?
Hi again: thank you for the welcome! I will definitely being playing along!
I have made a sample block and was wondering which all of you would rather since I cannot make up my mind.
With corners or without?? (they are just pinned for now, so don't worry about the direction or size, I was just trying to get an idea)
