I'm hoping to get enough to join this quilt block sqap for the duration (6 months) so we can all have enough to make a whole quilt! The idea is to have 4 partners for whom we will make 5 9-patch blocks in specific colors, 4 to send 1 to each partner and 1 to keep--not specific in the fabrics (except all cotton quilt fabrics), but more scrappy to use up some stash! The first swap will be for 5 blocks of reds--in the quilt pattern, these will be the upper left one and bottom right 4. 2nd swap will be for Oranges, 2 for the row after the first red, and 3 for the lower right after the 2nd red--look at the image to get the idea. We'll do 5 yellows, 5 greens, 5 blues and 5 purples, so you can start anytime since it's sender's choice which scraps you have to use. The blocks will be 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" when ready to send. Here is a general pattern to follow if you're not familiar with the 9-Patch. 5" charms will work if you have them to use, just trim them to 4 1/2" and use a 1/4" seam allowance. The swaps will have signup dates as the 9th of each month and the 29th for the send-by (even February--it's a Leap Year!) So sign up, and start scrapping! |
