No Sashing or anything like that. All of that is the option of the person who receives their blocks from all of us. Yes you can use all the same color or different colors whatever way you want to do it.
When I get the blocks from everybody, I take the return envelopes and spread them out on my dining room table. I then grab the stack of blocks and walk around the table laying one block at a time on top of everybody's envelope until everybody has 12 blocks from a mix of other participants.
Some folks will put one of those mailing stickers with your name on it on the block as some folks like to know who made which block and keep a book of each swap they have been involved in.
The big thing to remember is we are making out blocks 12 1/2 X 12 1/2 instead of what is listed on the pattern as the size of the block. This makes it easier for folks who are new to sewing and quilting to complete their quilts without too much math figuring sashing, borders and such. For me, the less complicated the better!!
Some of us just completed an offlist project with Cancer Ribbons and feathers from that same site. That one was MUCH harder than this. All those danged feathers!! But then again, we had 1 person who has never done applique and another who made her first blocks without me sitting beside her doing the blocks.
Come play! We always have such fun with these swaps!!
