Block Exchange



The block exchange list is looking great!  Almost everyone has chosen a block and fabric now.  The exceptions are Erin, who not everyone has met yet, but is going to be a great addition to our group.  She is sort of busy with a new baby at the moment (December 4, Baby girl!). And Jean, who is far away and hasn't been getting my emails (I'm working on that).  I'll update as time goes on so check back for pictures!!

January - Jennifer - Jennifer has a packet with a list of blocks she would like to see and a sample swatch of fabric.  She chose batiks.  (I have the packets, please talk to me and I'll coordinate how to get it to you!)
 
February - Linda - Linda would like the Album block.  She chose red white and blue in old timey colors, not modern brights.
 
March - Teresa (Teresa provided some fabric! For inspiration and to use. I've got it and will share when you get your packets.)
 
April - Gayle - Gayle would like churn dash blocks in reds and blues on white on white back ground.

May - Stephanie - Stephanie would like scrappy apple blocks in reds, greens, or yellows.

June - Vicki  - Vicki would like Halloween blocks. Use Halloween fabric and whatever block you would like to use.  She is thinking about having a fun center block with block exchange blocks around it. 

July - Cheryl - Cheryl would like the Pinmill block. In greens and blues, unisex fabric (no flowers).

August - Liz - Liz would like the Floral Log Cabin Block in florals.  She would like no two fabrics in the block the same if that's possible, but it's not required.  Think Kaffe Fasset type fabrics.  (There is a log cabin block in the packet and a FLORAL log cabin block.  She would like the Floral log cabin, FYI. )

September - Deb - Deb would like the ship block in the packet. She will give everyone some 'ocean' fabric to use. Otherwise,  have fun with the sky and the four sails. Could be stormy seas,could be smooth sailing, could be sunset/sunrise.


October - Erin - ?

November - Jean - ?

December - Krista - I'm going with random blocks. Maybe try to go with traditional sampler type blocks from the packet, but whatever you want to try, go for it! I think you all know me! I'd like batik fabrics with a focus on orange.
