Fabric pre-washed, please.
1 - 12 participants
2 - Each participant chooses one block to make
3 - Each participant makes 12 of the selected block
4 - Fabrics for cup and saucer you select may vary if you like
5 - Center rounds of each saucer in pale tones please, for better contrast with the cups
6 - Background color light beige or cream tone-on-tone
7 - Sashing will be light to medium brown
(Make background larger than recommended to allow for shrinkage
due to applique techniques.
[• You will need to make 12 of the pieced background or base blocks for each of your teacups.
Some of us have problems with stretching the block out of square when we machine appliqué. There is no reason you cannot make your base block bigger than you need it to be, and square it up after your appliqué is on. BLOCK WILL MEASURE 10 1/2 INCHES UNFINISHED.
• Appliqué your teacups onto your blocks using your method of choice.]
8 - Square each completed block to TEN 1/2 INCHES, please
9 - Please be sure to include forum name/and first name with each block. You can stitch your label to edge of the block, use address labels, or small piece of scotch tape -NO staples or pins, please.
10 - You may put all 12 blocks in one big baggie if you like—uses less plastic and lightens the package, too.
11 –If you want blocks returned with certification, please include 2 stamps to cover my additional cost. Thanks.
Due to me by OCTOBER 3; my goal is to return to you by October 20.
12 - Please communicate if any questions or problems arise. We are all here for each other, which makes these swaps so much fun.

NOTE: All posts between 9/20 to 9/26 lost in the QIAD site crash
They will probably never be restored. Before the crash,I had heard from DJ and IslandGirl with assurance their blocks will be sent on time.
BLOCKS 2 AND 5 WERE NOT RECEIVED , SO I RETURNED THE EXTRA BLOCKS TO EACH OF YOU.
