Description:

This swap is for all you beginner quilt makers who want to get their feet wet. The first block is going to be very easy. A 9 patch.

http://www.quilterscache.com/N/NinePatchBlock.html

You will make one nine patch block and have one partner.

It is senders choice for the colors. Make sure you use two contrasting colors. Like dark blue and white or light pink and dark red. Please no NOVELTY fabrics. Novelties are Easter prints, kid prints, food prints, animal prints, etc. You can use floral prints and geometric prints. Just nothing that reads children blocks.

Please try your very best to use a scant 1/4 inch seam allowance when constructing your blocks. The finished block should measure 12 1/2 inches when it is complete.

To make it easier for newbies,after you cut out your squares use a disappearing ink marker to draw your seam allowance. Then sew just next to the line, not on top of it. This will make it easier to learn the scant seam allowance. Please pm me with any questions. You can also measure from your needle over 1/4 of an inch and use masking tape as a guide.

Newbies are welcome. Please fill out your profile. Everyone has to start some where. Experienced swapper with a 4.6 or higher may join to. I will be checking profiles. Please no recent no sends.

This looks like fun! How many rounds are you thinking about doing?

Gosh. I have been wanting to start quilting for ages. Tis looks like the perfect place to start.

Do we have to do anything with it when the squares are joined together, or backing or anything.

I am doing the exact same swap, have been for 3 months now.................not ok =(

scrapkween 10/21/2009 #

Ok, I can see its a little different,but perhaps you should change the name, so swappers dont get confused? Because mine is called the same thing...............

fabricmom 10/21/2009 #

No problem.

I love that this is sender's choice. Feel free to use your "uglies" on my block. I will give it a good home.

I think it is annoying when people get possessive of swaps and swap names. As if it is a trademark or copyright infringment. Good grief!

scrapkween 10/27/2009 #

so when you say use two contrasting colors is it only allowed to have two different types of fabric? Probably a stupid question......lol

fabricmom 10/28/2009 #

Yes just two fabrics for this swap please
