chickenscratch Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I\'m trying to get our next swap organized, so we can start in May or June. I want everybody to have plenty of time to sign up. Would you all rather do: 1) A Christmas block swap with 12.5" blocks in red/green/gold OR blue/gold/white OR WOULD YOU RATHER: 2) Do a round robin quilt swap where you stitch your center medallion, then your quilt goes to 5 others for additional borders and rows to make it grow? Think about it and let me know ASAP. Also, for those wanting a 30\'s prints/traditional block exchange, go to the chatboard on my website to sign up for that one.

Sandra Darlington Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi Teresa, I would be interested in a Christmas block swap with 12.5" blocks in red, green & gold IF I don\'t have to make more than about 15 blocks. I know my time is limited, so more blocks would become too time consuming for me. I\'ll try to follow this thread to see how others feel. Thanks for taking the initiative and your time (as I know you are extremely busy, too) to start another block exchange. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerriVB Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I haven\'t done a round robin in a while and would really like to do another one!!! Since purchasing my LA--the piecing time has dramatically decreased--but I would welcome the challenge of a RR!!!! Thanks--Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbi Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I\'d love the Christmas block exchange too! I think the red, green, white (some gold) would be fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 WEll,so far the overwhelming majority prefer Christmas blocks to a round robin. We\'ll keep watching and make a decision toward the middle of April. I want to give everybody plenty of time to sign up and we need to have a FIRM cut off date, with no last minute add ons- that makes it hard to organize. Thanks to those of you who have replied.

cmoore1223 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Count me in for whatever the majority decides. I\'d love a RR, but if it\'s Christmas blocks, that\' great too. Red, Green etc. are my vote for the Christmas blocks. Thanks for organizing for us!! :) Coleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Since I\'ve been having so much fun doing the current block exchange, count me in too! I\'ll go with the majority, but it sounds like it\'s going to be the blocks. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Well, let\'s plan that then. If enough people want a round robin, maybe we can do one later. Let\'s allow sign ups until April 15th, then finalize a list. We can plan on mailing blocks out between May 1st and October 1st. Hopefully we\'ll get about the same number of people so we can each do about 15 blocks or so again. I think the 12.5" size has worked well for everybody, so we can stick with that. What if we said that you make all your blocks identical this time, allowing for speed piecing, and then send them out. Because everybody on the list would receive blocks from different people, everybody would have at least one different block from the other people (if that makes sense). And everybody would set them differently, so we\'d have different quilts. Sounds like fun. I can\'t wait. I\'m checking the mail every day looking for my other 9 Friendship blocks to arrive.

RoxieRae Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Can we consider a shorter time for getting the blocks made and sent, maybe just 3 months to do it so we have time before our own "holiday rushes" begin. Seems like the other quilters I know don\'t have any time for themselves starting in October. Just a thought. Roxie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Teresa - you sure are a busy lady! I like the Christmas block idea and would "maybe" willing to do a Round Robin. (I really dis-like that name by the way.... HAD a sister by that which I have not spoken to in over 10 years and she only lives 30 miles from me - thats a whole diff. story!) Stick with the Red - Green and Gold! Very Merry!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PamelaA Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 The block swap with reds, greens and golds sounds wonderful. Put my name on the list. I think that you have my info from the round robin box exchange and Secret Santa. PamelaA P.S. This past week I got the joy of meeting the wonderful lady to whom I was the Secret Santa. It was so fun putting a name and face together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Teresa, Put me down for a nother swap. You should have my address from the friendship swap that is currently going on. I would prefer blue, white and gold since I already have a red and green quilt that I\'m current working on, but I\'ll go along with what every the group decides.
