All [COLOR=005CB1]BYC Rules[/COLOR] apply.[/COLOR] Due December 1st. Quilt Swap It’s time to sign up for the next BYC quilt block swap! Woo Hoo!!
Let’s do an Underground Railroad Block The block has to be from what the slaves used to navigate the underground RR. The colors will be muted greys,blues,reds,yellows etc. think of times long ago NO Bright colors this time, we will have several blocks to choose from and ask that if you are a more experienced quilter please pick a more challenging block. You can choose a block and it will be posted which one you are doing, so we do not get several blocks of the same. This swap will only be open to 12 quilters.
Please make 12.5” x 12.5” blocks that allow for seam allowances. We will need to make 12 blocks. Due date will be December 1st. Let the quilting begin! I am on BYC often, and I will be available to answer questions, and all who send blocks will receive blocks from whoever else takes part. I ask that when you ship all of your blocks, add a large SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) for easy block shipment. ALL BLOCKS are sent to me (yes, even yours your keeping) so that I can be sure every pile of blocks sent out contains one from every single sender. It’s confusing to keep track of 12 - 15 different piles, and who doesn't need one. I want no mistakes, so make and send them all at once. TO SIGN UP: Please put "SIGN ME UP" OR "YES, I'M IN" or something all by itself in a post on the forum. (Or, put it first, then elaborate) Please post you want to be involved HERE on THIS THREAD. Thanks Kat I have found a total of 15 RR blocks, and here are links to some, if you find more please share but they must be from the Underground RR. the first link is a download of some patterns and story let me know if you have trouble. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...=1PZipbjgLIyJsefjGeBnwA&bvm=bv.72676100,d.cWc http://home2.fvcc.edu/~cgreig/final/blocks.html http://www.amazon.com/Underground-Railroad-Sampler-Eleanor-Burns/dp/1891776134/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1407864296&sr=1-4&keywords=railroad+quilt+pattern Cross Roads-quailtrail Log Cabin--Fenrosie Shoo Fly-plaidbattleaxe Monkey Wrench--OHhappychicks Bow Ties-katsdar Flying Geese-Rustyhen Wagon Wheel Drunkards Path Carpenter's Wheel-Kassaundra North Star-LacyBlues Bear's Paw-Coldupnorth Tumbling Blocks Basket Birds in the Air-majack Sail Boat---Anna6 Jacob's ladder some books mention Jacob's ladder some not saying this block was not one that was used, do we want to add it?
