Description:

I'l like to suggest a swap for 12 1/2" swaps that are particular colors for each of us. We could each list the color choice here in the notes, and when we get a partner, we are to make a block using only her chosen colors. I'll give everone until the end of February to think about whether it soulds fun and sign up. If there are enough participants I'd love to do this for a year, so that we would have the basis for a good sized quilt. Then we could each add smaller blocks for interest or perhaps sashing, corner points or prairie points if you like them. I'll give it the rest of the month, to see if there is enough interest in it. If so I'll assign partners on Mar 15.

Red - White - Blue for me (but not patriotic please)

I'm not clear. Do you mean simple fabric blocks rather than, say, a FQ, or do you mean blocks of some quilting design so we'd wind up with a sort of sampler quilt with many different block designs?

marquettegirl 02/13/2012 #

12 1/2 in blocks - sort of like in the black & white swap, only in whatever colors you would choose. Yes you would end up with a sampler.

marquettegirl 02/14/2012 #

Still only two of us interested? Alphenstamp, if we don't get some others, I'll cancel this one and chalk it up to one of my "not so good" ideas - LOL

bstitched 02/14/2012 #

I'm interested! I would love black, white, and yellow.

junemoon 02/14/2012 #

Okay, blocks of our choice, your colors -- that works for me. At the moment I"m thinking black and white with some red.

perkl8r 02/14/2012 #

this one looks like fun, love the idea, watching for now....but very tempted, also thinking of what colors I'd like.

Alphenquilts 02/15/2012 #

I hope you assign partners at Febr 29 as the sent by dat is March 15.....

marquettegirl 02/16/2012 #

You are so right, Alphenstamp. I'll go in and change it so that we'll have our partners assigned and then we have three weeks to get the blocks done in their colors and sent. I forgot that everyone has lives!

marquettegirl 02/16/2012 #

If you look at the swap I've now changed the dates slightly on both ends. Sign up by 2/26 and send by 3/17, That gives about three weeks to get our partner, think of what block we want to do and get a fat quarter if we don't have anything suitable in their colors.

Any color will work for me, but let me ask you this, has there every been enought yellow on this earth?

marquettegirl 02/22/2012 #

1leemeadows - I think you've chosen one color. What else do you like with your yellow? Warm or cool? Out here, every winter I think about how I should make a gray and yellow quilt - symbolic of the sky and the hope for sunshine.

Do you all want to carry this swap forward monthly like the b & w one?

marquettegirl 02/27/2012 #

A windup:

Alphenstamp wants red, white and blue (but not patriotic)
Bstitched chose black, shite and yellow
Junemoon would like black, white and red
Marquettegirl wants teal, burgundy and cream
1leemeadows says she will take anything, as long as it has yellow.

please use best quality materials that you would like to receive.

1leemeadows 02/27/2012 #

Yes, I would love this swap monthly, it is my favorite swap

marquettegirl 02/27/2012 #

Oh, and just a reminder, the blocks should measure 12 1/2" square to allow for joining to others.

Alphenquilts 02/28/2012 #

I think a monthly swap is fun!

junemoon 02/28/2012 #

A monthly swap is especially fun if we keep the same color combintions and wind up with a bunch of squares to go into a single quilt, plus our own borders and strippings.

bstitched 03/ 5/2012 #

I like the idea of monthly!
