Thinking ahead to the new year, I usually host a block swap after the holidays are over. I have some questions in general about swaps that will hopefully help to narrow down what it will be. If you could answer them, we can get the ball rolling on ideas!
1-Do you prefer to choose your own block or prefer to have the block already chosen?
2-What level do you consider yourself? beginner, intermediate, or advanced?
3-Do you prefer a set color palette or want to choose your own?
4-What size of block do you want to try?
5-Do you prefer a holiday theme?
6-**Would you prefer a swap where you send the blocks to the hostess or to the participants? ( see below for explanation)
**sending your block sets to the hostess with a self-addressed stamped envelope so the hostess can divvy up all the blocks and send your set back to you in one envelope is called a centralized swap. The number of blocks is usually determined by how many participants sign up. If 15 sign up then you'd make a set of 15, keep one for yourself and send the other 14 to the hostess. You'll receive back in your envelope 14 blocks made by the other participants. If someone has to drop out, it's usually not a big deal, you'll just receive 1 of your own back for that person who couldn't meet the commitment.
Post your ideas, things you've been wanting to try, color options, etc!
