Quilt Block Swap
Edit: I will take new sign ups until the 12th. After that I will send out an email with all the details. Thanks everyone!
Okay, I want to do a quilt block swap! Here are the rules I am thinking, let me know if I am missing something:
1. One 10" block a month sent to someone else in the swap. I haven't decided yet if we will have the same partner every month or switch up since I don't know how many people might be interested.
2. The block can be traditional, contemporary or free form.
3. The block will be based on a theme each month which my lovely assistant, er, husband, will come up with for us. Like "sunshine" or whatever and then you make a block that says "sunshine" to you. We will put up the new word or theme on the first of the month, blocks should get to the person your swapping with by the end of the month.
4. Blocks must be primarily made of quilting cotton but embellishments and embroidery is fine to add.
5. Part of me wants to say when you sign up you should also pick a color. Then even if we swap partners every month the blocks you get will have some cohesiveness. Like I pick purple and each block I get would have some purple in it (but not necessarily be all purple...)
What do you think? To sign up you can either leave a comment here WITH your email address or send an email to littleanilia (at) gmail (dot) com and include your mailing address and color. I will leave this up for a week and see what we get. Since we have already gotten into February, March will start the swap, but I might release the first theme a little early.
