This swap is limited to 12 spots....so sign-up now before its to late!!!!
This block swap will help you get rid of lots of those scraps laying around your sewing room. If you didn't know what to do with them...here's a great idea.
http://www.quilterscache.com/D/DepressionBlock.html
This block will end up at 12 1/2 inches (please don't trim the edges)
Fabric: All fabrics used should be 100% cotton, very nice quality quilt appropriate fabrics. No flimsy fabrics, please. BLEEDING FABRICS MUST BE PREWASHED PRIOR TO USING. (Reds, Dark Blues, Dark Purples, Dark Greens) If the fabric has already been washed there is no need to wash it again.
Colors: Half Light colors & Half Dark colors you have in your scrap bin....BUT....Please follow the directions carefully on how to place light and dark for the block to turn out right for everyone there is a chart that shows where to place the colors
again....Size of finished Block: 12.5 inches (please do not trim the edges)
Block Pattern: http://www.quilterscache.com/D/DepressionBlock.html
Number of blocks: 12 blocks
Sign Up Deadline: Oct. 1st, 2011.......or when spots are filled (you can start sewing the blocks as soon as you sign-up)
Please do not sign-up if you do not think you can do the blocks in time. There is plenty of time here if you can do one block a day (except on Sunday)
Blocks due to me: Nov. 5th, 2011.....Blocks will be swapped and mailed out asap after all are received. There will be no waiting time for stragglers on this block beings it is running so close with Thanksgiving and CHRISTmas.
Mailing: When you mail your blocks to me, be sure to INCLUDE INSIDE a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with your address in both the From and To slots with the EXACT same amount of postage as it costs you to send them to me. If your packages do not have the appropriate postage, I will "return to sender". Blocks and SASE should be able to fit in a small flat rate Priorty Mail Envelope--I believe the stamp is $4.95 + Delivery Confirmation (75 more cents) $5.70 total. Be sure to get 2 stamps. 1 for sending to me. 1 for sending back to you. (2 sets will easily fit)
Please post here if you would like to join.
Enjoy!!!
