Log Cabin patchwork block

Hiya folks, hope you feel inclined to join in.

My colour preferences would be to achieve an overall bed cover with powdery blue, lilac, light rather than bright pink, light green and creams with say mid blue, purple, mid greens and caramel/beige as any darker fabics?

That gives most folks a stab at what they may already have in their stash of fabrics!

Am I understanding you right, you wrote "So in this swap it is 1 x 12" block for 1 partner," Does this mean the strips once the block is made are to be 1 inch. wide? or are you saying that it is to be 1 - 12 inch block for your 1 partner?

My color's are pale pinks, pale yellows, creams, roses, lacy, pastels. My over all look is victorian. Thank You

I am interested in joining this swap but I do not understand the numbers we make three and send out one?? is that right ? thanks for your consideration and time.

I have to back out, sorry I just looked at the dates. I will be going in for surgery some time in the end of June, July. I hope to be back up to speed in Aug. Sorry

No worries Heather good luck! No Deborah............we do each make one block for one partner. What I meant to say was.......... I will make a block for my partner but also make exactly the same block, with the same fabrics for myself as well. That way I will have made up two blocks but will keep one for myself. Then, when I receive a block from another swapper, I will have two blocks in the same papetrn but differing fabrics. Sorry to confuse you, serves me right trying to use pc with a cat balanced on my lap, trying to catch my fingers as I typed! have edited the screed above, hope thats made it clearer!

My color preferences are creams, browns, and red. I do not like the cutesey country calico look; my tastes are more contemporary.

Regarding the size of the strips, I'm thinking that I will cut 2" strips, which will become 1.5" strips when sewn together. This will yield a 12.5" block that I send to my partner; it will become a 12" block once she joins it to other blocks. Is this right--do I actually send a 12.5" block?

yes thats just fine, was thinking last night I should have mentioned the quarter inch additions for stitching together. Half inch if the fabric is fray-ey, otherwise standard quarter inch is just fine. Glad you were able to join in too! :)

Fantastic swap idea! Cannot join at this time, but hope to see something like this again in the future...

Neat idea!

My color preference is Swedish-inspired blue and yellow, with some white maybe.

I am so glad I got in this swap in time!

I have three color schemes you can chose from: 1: sky blue, yellow, all shades of purple, pink and brown 2: blues, grey, slate, grey blue, grass green, dark green, sliver, black and brown 3: orange, green, yellow, brown, blue

I can't wait

OLdMadeNew there will be afew more dont worry, later will do a crazy log cabin too maybe? Partners are ready now for you to see, sorry was abit behind , dont the days just fly by?! Lori have emailed you about any colour choice you may prefer, let me know wont you? Otherwise you will have my selection at the time lol Any problems get in touch wont you! This is for therapy and pleasure, so dont fret! Lyn

My color preferences would be greens or blues, deeper tones, not pastels, with white/creams. Though anything other than pinks and pastels would be fine too. :)

Thanks SewFun..........hope you all enjoy the block making, Im still agonising over which fabrics to use lol At this rate I will end up making several and select which one to send before I post out on monday! Life has SO many decisions in it!

Oooh; I found a GREAT link for constructing 12" blocks! I will be using this link, and these measurements.
