Sign Ups are CLOSED

Your blocks can be appliqued, pieced, embroidered, sampler, what ever you would like to do and are capable of.

I only ask that you keep it winter theme and not Christmas.

Fabric: 100% cotton but does not need to be LQS. Use the golden rule with selecting your fabric and use what you would like to get in return. And of course washed and pressed to avoid shrinkage is a must. As well as carefully squaring your blocks. :)

Two choices :

12 1/2 inch UNFINISHED Winter Themed blocks. Try to keep this non Christmas themed because not every one celebrates Christmas.

OR

Various sized blocks in multiples of 12. 3 1/2 inch and so on. Again UNFINISHED and winter Themed.

Using this option you can send either square or rectangle.

(Whichever option you send me you will be receiving in return. You are more than welcome to make more than one set and will receive an equal number back.)

****You make 12 blocks and send them to me along with a self addressed, stamped envelope for return postage... what ever it cost to send it to me, it will cost to return your blocks to you...so be sure to put enough postage on your envelope.****

You will not receive one of your own blocks back so if you'd like to have one that you made please make and keep an extra.

Please mark EACH ONE of your blocks with a little slip of paper pinned to or a sticky label with your message board id and if you want to, your real name. It is nice to know who made the blocks in your quilt. And please send your blocks in a zip-lock baggie in case the names fall off.

If you want to make multiple sets, just make sure you have 12 blocks of each pattern. You will receive back as many as you send. Please let me know how many you are planning to make.

Mail your blocks to me by October 3, 2010

I will mail them back out by October 15, 2010 or as close to that as possible.

If you want to post what block you are making, we can try to keep them all as different as possible.


Let me know if you have any questions. And be gentle this is my first time hosting a swap ;)

***Edited to add***

Do to popular request, you can make the blocks in your set different patterns or the same patterns with different fabrics if you choose to. Just make sure you send 12 per set and they are the same dimensions.

*****Edit 8/2****
In order to preserve my sanity I'm going to cut off sign ups at 50 swappers. (over 600 blocks) Of course if a few more sneak in after the 50th and the time I post the close they will be allowed in.
