Description:

This swap is about swapping a quilt block and the pattern for that quilt block.

Block of the Month and quilt blocks in general seem to be all the rage so this swap wants to see some of that joy spread around the world.

In this swap you will send one quilt block (you determine the size), the block pattern and details of where they come from (without breaking copyright rules) and enough fabric to make another block with the same pattern. You may choose to include fabric to make a block with the same fabric or different fabric.

The quilt block should not be quilted or have batting. It should be able to be included in the receiver's own projects and it up to them to make those decisions.

You can, of course, include other treats for your swap partner (but keep in mind that quarantine laws may prohibit some things being sent in the mail).

This is designed to have minimal postage costs. Keeping the parcel flat and light are important in this swap.

I've set the minimum rating at 4, but will allow unrated swappers with well filled out profiles. I will be in touch with those people before I allocate swap partners.

This is a very interesting and tempting swap -- but I have totally stopped sending anything that will be called a "package" by the US post office abroad. So I'm skipping this swap because it's international.

I think you should specify the minimum rating... I have made the mistake and having been left disappointed!...

@Cha13 - I have taken your advice and made changes to the minimum rating. Thanks for the heads up.

@junemoon - perhaps you'd like to hold a US specific version of this swap. I don't mind if you do.
