Crazy Patchwork Square # 1
Swap Coordinator:MrsTinyDuckie (contact)
Swap categories: Sewing  Embroidery  Quilting 
Number of people in swap:2
Location:International
Type:Type 3: Package or craft
Last day to signup/drop:June 17, 2011
Date items must be sent by:July 8, 2011
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

For this swap, you will send 1 crazy patchwork quilt square to 1 partner. Each square must be 9x9 with a minimum of 6 different fabrics, three instances of embroidery, two notions, and your name (swapbot name or real name or both) and the date you finished it.

This will be a series of swaps. When the series is complete, everyone should have 9 squares to make a wall hanging from (or as the base for a larger crazy patchwork quilt).

This is your chance to use up all of those sewing scraps you have laying around and to be creative and crazy. Don't feel limited to the minimums. If you want to use 15 fabrics, twenty ribbons, and embroider every seam or every patch, feel free. The sky is the limit here.

I will angel this swap if necessary. I will look at all profiles and ban anyone that I think might flake because of how time and work intensive a project like this can be. Newbies must have a minimum of 5 type 3 swaps completed and a very well filled out profile.

Is it 9x9 (meaning an 8.5x8.5 block when finished) or a 9x9 finished, meaning 9.5x9.5 when sent? It really makes no difference in whether I join (I will), but just clarifying before I start sewing. Thanks.

@queennmlv - 9x9 when sent. Thanks for asking. It didn't occur to me to mention that (I think I made this swap at midnight after working 8.5 hours, heh). I'll be sure to include the extra info on the next 8 swaps, though. :)

your name and finish date are to be "on" the square? or in a card etc.? thanks.

MrsTinyDuckie 06/ 9/2011 #

@slewis234 : The name and date should be on the square (embroidered, fabric marker, etc).

So I finished my square, and I have to say....this was a REALLY fun project. Thanks for the swap.

I really love crazy patchwork. I hope you'll join the rest in the series. (and I hope some other people will, too)
