Description:

Traditional 9-Patch blocks are versatile--you can make Disappearing 9-Patch out of them, and the combinations of colors and orientation and positions of the squares make interesting patterns in the overall quilts.

We'll make 12 1/2" blocks and send two to one partner in their preferred colors-- post your preferences in the comments -- making them by arranging the colors in opposite patterns in each of the two--so 4 light, 5 dark in one, and 4 dark and 5 light in the other. See the swap pic above for example.

This is a good block for swap and quilting newbies, but you must have a well-filled out profile to join--meaning a list of some of your preferences and a little about you to let us know you better as a person.

Rated swappers must have at least three Type 3 swaps completed and no recent 1s or 3s without reasonable explanations.

No flakers welcome--if you even think you won't be able to complete this swap, please don't join. I will be checking participants carefully to try to make a happy swapping experience for all involved.

Tutorial on "The Quilter's Cache" just reverse the colors required in the pattern.

Summary: We will each send our 1 partner two 12 1/2" 9-Patch blocks in reverse color patterns made with their posted color preferences--two colors in printed fabrics, no solids. You can say something like Blue and white with Red, or Brown/yellow with dark green--something like that, and the single color fabrics can have small other colors in the pattern.

The swap is USA only, and if you press your blocks folded neatly, they can both fit in a 6" x 9" letter envelope for minimal postage cost.

If someone would like to copy the details here for an International or regional swap, feel free! Any questions, please PM me.

I'd like mine either Black and Red, or Royal/Cobalt Blue and White

Would like my first color to be white, second color is up to my dear partner.

I would love to join these swaps if they were sender's choice! I need to use my stash at the moment so don't want to risk not having any desired colors :-(

I'd like yellow with orange or red - the brighter the better.

FooFaRaw 02/ 1/2015 #

I'd like mine purple (no pastel please) and white, OR green (again, no pastels) and white.

BusyB 02/ 2/2015 #

I'd like mine to be white, white on white and blue, (NO pastel please) Either royal or medium blue.

JLVerde 02/ 3/2015 #

I'd like a bright color with a low volume print (example cream print on cream background, small black print on white or cream).

I also love novelty fabrics so feel free to use them (the sillier the better)

For the last year, I've been joining quilt block swaps that are 12.5 inch in size. I'm getting a fabulous collection from all my swap partners.

That said...I'm open to any thing. So, in a sense, it is up to you. Of course I adore polka dots, just had to say, but won't be disappointed if I not get blocks with no dots.
