Red White & Blue patriotic swap, and/or Jar swap. Finished Thank You
Posted: Sat Jan 23, 2016 12:51 pm
Happy New Year everyone! We will start off this year with a double header. Sign up by Feb 14th.
You can participate in both of these swaps, or just one.
Both of these swaps were voted on as the next highest top choices when Chriss asked for suggestions for swaps. So I hope you will all join in and have fun. Please read and follow all directions thoroughly.
Red, white and blue patriotic
12 ½” blocks
Limit 20 blocks
Quilter’s choice, just as long as the colors are red white and blue or patriotic fabrics (you can use eagles and other patriotic prints).
No glitter, no muslin, no thin fabrics. Use good quality 100% cotton only. Pre-wash all fabrics before cutting. Don’t square up your blocks.
Metallics are ok.
Jar block
12 ½”
Limit 20 blocks.
It can be one big jar or several jars on your 12 1/2 inch block.
Background: Black solid or black tone on tone.
Filled jars are quilters’ choice.
No glitter, no muslin, no thin fabrics. Use good quality 100% cotton only. Metallics are ok. Pre-wash all fabrics before cutting. Don’t square up your blocks.
-----------------------------------------------
All appliques must be sewn down properly. You may use different fabrics for your blocks, but use the same pattern.
Attach label on each block with forum name and real name and where you are from
Put blocks in one large ziplock bag with your return address on it.
Both sets Due April 9th.
You can fit both sets in one padded flat rate envelope. Save on shipping!
Make sure your blocks measure at least 12 ½”. It is better to trim a bit off, rather than me having to ship them back to you unswapped. Measure every block with a 12 ½” square up ruler to make sure. I will be measuring every block.
Please ask me any questions you may have. Both of these swaps are pretty open for you to create what you like or use up your stash. Just have fun with them.
Shipping has gone up. It is now $6.80 for a flat rate padded envelope. Just send cash only. I have the envelopes for return shipping.
