CLOSED - WE HAVE 12!!!!!
I am organizing a new quilt block with a 1 March deadline for signups. Mailing date is April 18, 2009.
Block Specifics: EVERY BLOCK MUST CONTAIN A FLORAL PRINT. YOU choose the block pattern you are sewing and the colors YOU will be using.
1. PLEASE make sure the fabric is 100% cotton and prewashed! If in doubt, don't use it.
2. Do not use any spray starch on blocks, spray sizing is OK.
3. A block should measure 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 when finished. (so that it will be 12 x 12 when sewn in quilt)
4. You will make ONE block for each participant, there will NOT be more than 12 participants.
5. Remember after you make a quilt we would love to see your results!!
The purpose is to have fun!
Deadline for sign up is 1 March, unless we have 12 people sign up before the deadline.
So ladies!! Confirm your interest and post the colors you will be using. First come 1st choice of color selection. The goal is to get all the colors of the rainbow into these blocks (Sorry BW & RWB folks). We can have 2 or 3 of a color. The goal is that we will get a smathering of colors and florals. This will be great way to welcome in Spring.
The deadline to have all blocks mailed to the swap members is April 18th. Be sure you are listed in the address exchange.
We will accept Non-subscribers on a case by case basis. If you have participated before, and there were no problems, I am sure you'll be allowed in this one. I do NOT think its a good idea to post your name & address on the internet, PLEASE take care of addresses by d-mail.
Be sure to put your username and real name on the block that you send . You can pin it on or put a label on it, whichever works better for you.
Members of this swap and the color they are using:
1 Qwilter - yellow
2 Ladydragon - Spring grass green - yellow daffodils

Since Elen is in France we will do this the same way we did in the Winter thread. Everyone can send Elen's block to me and I will send the 1 package over to her. She then sends all of her's to me and I will send mine & her's out to you.
I do ask that you add a bit extra for the postage. This time we will know for sure what it will be - should be close tot he one I'm sending out in the next week or so.
