EDITED!--Dates changed to get it done sooner. I have places to go, people to see and things to do! This is the final color, once finished, we'll all have enough to make a Rainbow quilt with them! I'm even thinking of making my blocks into Disappearing Nine-Patches--we'll see how ambitious I am when the time comes! The idea is to have 4 partners for whom we will make five 12 ½†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! This swap was for 5 blocks of PURPLEs, light and dark or all scrappy--in the quilt pattern, these will be the upper left one and bottom right 4--look at the image to get the idea. 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. So sign up, and start scrapping!†|
