Blocks are DUE BY JUNE 18th
In this swap we will be making a wall hanging and therefore the blocks will be 6.5 blocks. Here is how this swap will work:
1.You may choose your style of assembly: applique’, paper pieced, or traditional piecing and embroidery for WORDS ONLY.
2.Choose one of the below sewing room items or PM me your idea for a block. See photos and links for inspiration. Each item can only be chosen by one person; first come first served. This way we don’t have all pincushions—Look around your sewing room for inspiration. Get Creative!
3.Background must be Dark Cream, Parchment, or Beige: Marble or SOLIDs only. I am ok with a top quality Muslin like Primitive Gatherings by Moda for your background—No thin see through type. I need to see your background prior to you making your blocks please
4.Make a test block and post it for all to see. Then make 20 blocks each 6 ½ inches unfinished DO NOT SQUARE UP YOUR BLOCK {JUST a FYI: I cut my blocks 7 inches due to applique and shrinkage}
