sewingjunky Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I love the idea of sending them to me. What number you send is what you'll get back. I would suggest that everyone send me 20, 10" squares that would take a bit less than 2 yards. Also it will make a great assortment for a scrappy quilt. Please send to me your fabric squares with a self addressed and postage paid same as what it cost you to get it to me, then I will keep them all separate until august. Then I will take one from each pile and return them. If you send less then 20 I will return less then 20. My address 13187 s moccasin way Oregon city, oregon. 97045 503 650 7505 Ready set go!!!! I am going shopping this week! Thanks Brendalee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Sounds like a great idea. I will try to do that with the fall blocks for the next exchange. that way everybody will get what they expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gable428 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Brendalee, count me in:) I sent you a U2U with my address info. I have a question: Once the deadline passes, are you going to let us know the exact number of people who signed up? I would imagine more than 20 are going to sign up and with an exact number, we can send that number of cut squares to you. Thank you and thank you also for coming up with this cool idea.

mitzi Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have never done a block exchange before but this one sounds like one I would be interested in. So Brendalee, count me in for 20 10" blocks of batik in jewel tones. I will send you a U2U with my mailing address. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingjunky Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I would like to have you all send me your addresses and such for the list as I am building it. I will record the number that you sent and I will keep them separated. Everyone has until June 1st to sign up, and then after that if someone signed up and doesn't send the blocks then I won't send them any and there will be more for everyone else.

sewingjunky Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Gail Drake, You get a gold star!! I have already recieved your blocks. They are gorgeous rich green (10) and purple (10) they are so pretty! When I get a final number tomorrow night, we can email and you can tell me what you want me to do, if you are short a few blocks. Ladies, my thought is that as the colors come in I will post what they are.... or better yet you can post a photo if you want. I am having a hard time deciding what color to do. I love lime green and maybe a deep fushia, that is if it is ok to enter twice??? What do you gals think? Looks like we might end up with maybe 23ish?:) I was asked two questions, and we need to decide: 1. Is yellow or gold a jewel tone? 2. Can the batik have a print? (floral, frog, turtle ect) I am game for both I plan on making mine into a scrappy quilt so it will be stripped so the print won't effect me, but I wanted to get everyones opinion, so we are all overwhelmed with joy when the big puffy package arrives. I am very excited! I can't wait to go buy my fabrics!!!:cool: Brendalee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaildrake Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 bRENDALEE; THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE SQUARES ARRIVED SAFELY. i WILL BE WATCHING TO SEE WHAT THE END NUMBER IS AND WILL MAIL YOU THE REST TO MAKE THE TOTAL AMT.

witha'K'quilting Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I think yellow and gold works as a jewel tone...and prints are okay by me too. Just waiting for confirmation on the final count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm with Kristina, so yellow works fine for me! And I love the prints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
