Description:

PLEASE NOTE: The quilt block swaps I host are meant for more experienced quilters. You will need to be at least an intermediate in your experience and skill set. Do not join unless you have the experience necessary to make these blocks.

I found a tutorial for a very cute block that is easy to make. The tutorial can be found here: http://www.107quilts.com/2011/09/sew-modern-bee-october-tutorial-string.html Follow the tutorial exactly so everyone gets blocks that are the same size. The finished size of each block should be 13" by 13"

We're going to be making 3 blocks for each of our 3 partners. That means a total of 9 blocks. Please use new material (unless your partner is ok with vintage materials) that are clean and 100% cotton. This would be a good swap if you have scraps that you want to get rid of.

Fabrics used are sender's choice but try to take your partners tastes into account.

No newbies. Must have completed at least 5 type 3 swaps and have a rating of 4.8 or better. No 1's or 3's in the last 6 months.I will check. I may make exceptions for newbies who haven't been rated yet. Message me if you've done swaps but just haven't been rated. If you don't get anything from your partner let me know.

Someone put the tutorial here so we can click on it. I don't know how to do that.

I'm so excited... I recently learned how to do that! Just type:

"[whatever descriptive word you want] (http://www....)"

except with no space between the ](

Did that make sense?

Oh, and no quotes. Oops!

Looking forward to this one! I have a specific color scheme in mind: neutral colors (both prints and solids) with black and white prints and the occasional touch of red...

Hey guys - I may be a few days late on getting this one out, I have a pretty bad case of the flu and spent a few hours in the er last night. Don't worry though, your blocks are coming!

It's me again!! I just might get these blocks out today! I'm still feeling like crap, but I can't breathe when I'm laying down so I spent a few hours of sleeplessness last night/this am in front of the sewing machine.
