Description:

Most of us are familiar with sampler quilts. In this swap which will occur monthly through 2012 we'll make sampler blocks of the maker's choice but with the partner' color choice. So at the end of the year you'll have 12 blocks and can make a small quilt [with stripping and borders of your choice and construction] or if you're quite ambitious you can make two of each sampler block, one for your partner in her colors and one for yourself in your colors. Then you would end up with 24 blocks for a twin or full bed size quilt, depending on the size of border and stripping.

So the nitty gritty: you make one block, 10.5x10.5 of any design, pieced or applique, for your partner in her color choices.
I have edited this to add 1/2 inch to the block, quarter inch seam allowance

You write in the comment section here what your color choices are.

If you chose you may make blocks for yourself in your color choices.

Send by deadline and sign up for the following month's swap

As a group swap this is international, but you are only sending a block, it won't cost much, if you iron it quite flat it can be sent letter rate.

my colors are red-white-blue (but please not US patriotic, no offence)

I'm going to leave the colors up to my partner. I love deep colors with yellow/gold colors, the color for our friendships and wisdom. Love the reds/orange, greens, browns, purples, aquas, in blue, I only like sky blue, so my spirit can soar. Surly I have named something that you have in your stash, now you can use your exceptional abilities to create a master piece.

I'd especially like black and white with a touch of red -- but really I'd be glad to get a square in most any color combiation.

I have one question: is the block I send 10x10 or is the block 10,5x10,5 so when you sew it together you have 10x10 blocks?

ocean colors for me, teals, aqua's, turquoise, greens...think ocean and send! (avoiding grays as much as possible but a little gray will be ok)

my partner @ter1225 hasn´t send yet... and I didn't get an update why she is late either :-(

this sure takes the fun out of swapping!
