mscott2611 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Am I to late? Can I be in on the swap as well? I have never done a block swap but would love to do one and this looks like a simple enough block that even a beginner like me can do it. Let me know.

Gator Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 OOOOO, wish I had time to join. Have fun, everyone, can't wait to see the quilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Doesn't Doodlebug have the best instructions? Just a reminder--no need to register, get on a list, or ask to join--just make those blocks and send them to Shannon! She is super organized and will send you back 30 different blocks from all over the world! I'm making one block today to time myself and see if I can participate.

LeeAnn Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I have a variety of 30's but not enough of any to make 30 blocks the same. do they all have to be the same? Or can I use a variety of fabrics? Of course, Kona cotton for the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Kona cotton for the white. good question- you can make sets of groups within the (30) block set- say (6) groups of 5 blocks each that are all the same. if you make all your (30) blocks completely different, there's no need to send them to me to be swapped for scrappy ones...you already have (30) scrappy blocks:P i have always wanted to make a 30s repro quilt, but i've not wanted to start stashing 30s repros....this is my sneaky way of getting the scrappy 30s quilt i've always wanted....and you guys are going to help me with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Doodlebug, I am going to drop out. I don't have that many repro 30s and won't be able to buy them for a time.. Sorry folks.. I really wanted to join in on this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudithWashburnQuiltStudo Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Instructions has a little glitch. Center "T" says to cut (2) 8" and sew (2) 3" to each side and cut 3"wide. This only cuts total of 28. To make the 2 shorts, I cut 3" wide (WOF) x 16" sewed 3" x 16" White Kona to each side then cut in 1/2 to make the 30 center "T". I am doing (60) and have cut all and sewn CENTER "T's" cut it took about 8 hours so far. Now just to mark and sew HST. Hope to have that all finished by tomorrow. This is so fun. Thank Shannon, now I get my scrappy 30's without having to stash a bunch. TextText Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilted charm Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I started mine, and didn't have quite enough fabric of some of them. I sure was glad to see the post that we can fudge a little and make some sets:D I really didn't want to waste what I had done so far, and I really wanted to use up my left overs from a previous quilt. I'm about half way done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
