Description:

Calling all beginner quilters!!! This swap is for those who are new to quilting and would like to swap blocks without the fear of being judged or fear of their blocks being deemed "unusable". Seasoned quilters are always welcomed. We have alot of wonderful seasoned seamstresses/quilters who would be a nice asset to this swap,however,if you are one of these ladies,please dont expect perfection,or even something you would put in a quilt(but hey, you may get lucky) You will swap three blocks to two partners. Here are the particulars:

YOur block must contain at least 5 pieces.2 blocks to 2 partners for a total of 4. You may choose any pattern,any style. For beginners i would recommend a simple nine patch or a friendship star design. Dont get overly ambitious,and try to tackle something you may not be quite ready for.....smiles

The blocks must measure in between 10 and 12.5 inches.This will give you alot of wiggle room to play with.If you are concerned about measurements, always aim a little bigger than normal the blocks are senders choice,however,please keep your swap partners color choices and preferences in mind when constructing something for them. You can list your preferences below. If you dont find the blocks you receive to be usable in a quilt,remember, they can always be used for something:covering a notebook,making a pillow,etc. Please make sure to send something you would like to receive.......no backwards pieces,etc. and remember,practice makes perfect, that is what this swap is all about............ Have fun :-)

If you missed out on the 1st 2 swaps, its ok. It is not a requirement to join. NEWBIES: Must have at least 3 package swaps completed,and must have a total of 10 ratings.No 1s or 3s from newbies. Must have a 4.9 rating I have had some repetitive late senders the past few swaps. If you send out late this time around, I wont allow you in future swaps. A month is plenty of time to complete. You can start as soon as you sign up...........

Can the blocks be crazy quilt, or are we focusing on regular patchwork?

Another hint about what to do with a block that isn't quite right, you can always cut it up and use the pieces in a crazy quilt block. They get to become something special then!
