No-Sew Block Swap - UPDATED

All participants and their groups are listed at the bottom of this post.

ENTRY TO SWAP IS NOW CLOSED.... watch for another swap in the near future.

UPDATE: The R/W/B swap is full so I've added a second R/W/B group - there's lots more room!

UPDATE:  Several swappers have asked about participating if they are outside the US.  No problem!  We can use Paypal for postage.  So far we have swappers from Germany, UK and Canada!

I just learned about this kind of quilt block swap. It sounded like so much fun I decided to host one (really two!).

When I first heard about this I was confused.  How do you get blocks if you don't sew them?  Well you do sew, but only your final blocks.  That means you don't have to worry about your sewing and whether or not it's good enough! (of course it is, but still, less worry) and, if you are particularly particular, you don't have to deal with someone else's less than perfect sewing.

Here's how it works...

1.  Select a 12" block pattern at Quilterscache.com  (only pieced blocks - no applique or paper piecing)
2.  Cut all the pieces for the block, but don't sew the block.
3.  Place all the pieces in a baggie.  Put a sticker on the baggie with the name of the block.  Include your name, city/state and, if you wish, your blog address.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 nine times.

4.  Keep one baggie for yourself and mail the remaining eight baggies to me by February 1st.  Include a self addressed stamped envelope. (Get your package weighed before you seal it and then use that amount of postage on your SASE.)  Any participants outside the US can use Paypal for the return postage.

5.  As soon as all packages are received I'll divvy up the baggies and mail each of you a package of 8 different baggies.  Look up each block on Quiltercache.com and commence sewing!

You have two choices:   Red/White/Blue No Sew Block Swap   or   Pink/Green/White No Sew Block Swap.   Also, please see the poll for what color Pink/Green.

Interested?  Sign up by leaving a comment. Tell me which swap you want to do. Sign up will be open until January 10th.
