New Year Block swap

[keepmumsane]

That paper pieced chicken block is super cute. Would anyone be interested in a swap. I might be able to host it. (arrrgghh what am i saying? i can't even find my shoes some mornings)

Totally! I adore that block!

I colour chess sets for a lady, pay is rubbish but I love them, will post a photo when I finish.oooo and counted, its now 6 sets.

Will calculate exchange rste..strict instructions to use any excess on sewing supplies

This swap is winding down and we have open spaces in the due March 15th swap, red,white and blue put together how you wish, block size is 3 inches (so you would have to cut your blocks 3.5 inches for some of us newbies) finished block size is 12.5 x 12.5 here is a suggestion of a block that turns out to the right size. this layout is a suggestion only you are the artist make your blocks the way you want to. I hope I have not confused anyone.

Mine didn't get mailed today, my husband was suppose to get me an envelope to mail them back in, but he got the wrong size. They are ready to go though.

@cathiesue were you thinking a swap w/ just that one chicken pattern, or any paper pieced pattern that is a chicken?

 

[cathiesue]

Mailing tomorrow. forgot to bring the blocks to work with me two days in a row. Aaarrgghhh!

About the chicken block swap. I think i might do it. What about a 12 block swap, any chicken block. As long as it resembles a bird. Pieced, paper pieced or applique. 12 in or framed to finish at 12 inches. Background to be neutral. Other than that the artist creates.

I printed out the silly chicken paper pieced block to give it a try. It finishes at eight inches so this one would need to be framed. It looks weird on the paper pieces but I'm going to try it out this weekend.

@Kassaundra your Weeping Angel is just amazing!

You could enlarge it, some where I have the scale to enlarging pieces, lets say I want this block at 12 inches then the scale tells you if it is an 8 inch block you increase the size 10 % . I hope I have explained it so it is understandable, I really need to find it I will start looking
