You should get an email from BRT with your swap partner for the indicated month. (January is already assigned, so you would probably start in February.) Make sure to indicate your pattern/color choice.

You will then make a 12.5" block (12" finished) for your partner in the pattern/color request as specified by your partner. You simply send the block to your partner.

The only $$ expense is the fabric and postage and emotional expense of the excitement/waiting for the block your partner made for you to come in.

You may have read a different set of instructions where each member has to send a group of blocks and has to include return postage. This is not that kind of a swap - this is a one-on-one.

I have not been getting posts for this thread. Finally getting around to posting pics of the beautiful blocks and FQ that I received from my November swap partner missgigglewings.

Now I know I don't understand this process. I was under the impression the leader chose the block for the month? And we choose the colors we want to receive? Do we choose a theme for all 12 of our blocks at this time?

Thanks for all the assistance.

You can pick a theme or colors . And then each month you will get a new partner who will make you a block in your color or theme that you have selected . if you don't change your color or theme then all the blocks you receive will be within your preference. I picked Christmas , so all my blocks will be in Christmas colors. Another has picked Iris' so all her blocks will be with an Iris on it .

Theme: pinks and greens...and as far as the block...anything goes for me too! I am excited to have something unique from each swap partner!
