Description:

Thanks to @snpyrunner for allowing me to host this swap.

This is such a simple quilt block and it's definitely addictive!! So get out your scraps and leftover jelly roll strips and join us. We will be making 4 blocks for each of your 2 partners ( a total of 8 blocks). This swap is for all levels of quilters. It doesn’t matter - you just need to be accurate.

INSTRUCTIONS: We will use the foundation fabric method. This means that we use a piece of muslin or thin fabric as the base for our square, to stabilize the square and also to make it easier to put it together. Please use this method –do not use the paper piecing method. The blocks we are making will be 6 ½ inches . I would recommend that you make your fabric base about 6 ¾-7 inches, so that if there is any “shrinkage” due to sewing, there is a bit of extra room to compensate for it, and you can just trim the squares after you are done.

REMINDERS: --- It is very important to iron each strip down as you sew it. --- The same fabric can only be used in a square 2 times. --- The squares are supposed to be scrappy. The scrappier the better! So please don’t try to coordinate things. Just grab a strip and sew. --- Strips should VARY IN WIDTH, BUT BE NO WIDER THAN 1 3/4 inches UNFINISHED (BEFORE being sewn down). This will allow for the squares to have about 10-14 different fabrics each. --- Please use decent quality 100% cotton fabric.

RULES (sorry about that): --- You must have a rating of at least 4.90 with no “1”s in the last 3 months. --- You need to have at least 10 mailed/package swaps that you have been rated for. --- I will review each profile before partners are assigned, and reserve the right to remove you from the swap if need be. --- If there are “circumstances”, email me and we will try to work things out.

Also, you don't really need to wait til partners are assigned. So get out the old machine, and have some fun!!! Hope you will join us!
