Description:

This will be an ongoing swap with a total of 80. Jump in when you can, but don't feel bad if you can't participate in all of them :)


The short of it:

For this swap you will send one 5x7 quilt square to three partners. (You can make them as simple or elaborate as you like. (You can get a fat quarter from WalMart for like $.98 and should be able to get four 5x7 squares about of them.) You can decorate the square with fabric markers, fabric paint, sewing, embroidery, etc. Just make sure it won't come off in the wash! And leave a 1/4 inch boarder all the way round for sewing!


The long of it:

In the end, we're looking to each be able to create this quilt:

You don't have to follow this tutorial at all, but its an idea for those who are beginning. I want this to be a fun and easy swap for beginning quilters and experienced ones alike!


Newbies are welcome with a well filled out profile. If you have recent 1's or 3's message me and we'll work something out.

Please no flakers. I will angel if necessary.

I allow everyone in my swaps, but will block you if I have to!

A "square" is not 5x7. Most quilt blocks are square but some are not, if you wish to make 80 that will fit together, please use the word "block" and please always specify the size.

If you enjoy quilting you might like to join one of the quilt group that exist on swap-bot -- they do regular swaps of specific blocks/usually squares.

junemoon.....I do enjoy quilting and went to look for one of the quilt groups you say are there, however the only ones I can find are USA only...please tell me one that is international! So I think Ink Stained Angels swap is great!!!!!

Is this senders choice? Could we get started now? Also just so I know for sure, is this a quilt as you go block or the quilt top ready to be sewn in and free motioned/quilted all at the end? Sorry I just found out about quilt as you go so I'm just making sure :D
