modern siggy swap round #2

it's time for round #2 of the modern siggy swap!

{ a big thanks to karrielyne for making her blocks! }

block tutorial available here

edit

for those of you not using pre-cut fabric strips

the white is 2 1/2" strips

and the colors are 1 1/2" strips

to make 101 blocks you'll need

a yard of white - 30" to be exact

and a bit over a yard of modern fabric.. b/c you need 36" exact

and you'll make 12 strip sets which will yield 108 blocks

note

you don't have to use the same fabric on both sides of your block... but if you use 2 different fabrics.. like karrielyne did... make sure they are similar and in a finished quilt will still "read" as one block

the details

fabrics

{ same as round #1... info right from rachel's post }

blocks

plan on making 101

{if the last signups are any indication}

if we have less than 100 i'll let you know.

if we have more.. we will have more than one group.

guidelines

{ same as round #1... info right from rachel's post }

you must follow my siggy block tutorial.

you must use quilt shop quality fabrics.

you must use a white fabric as your block centers. not cream.

you must handwrite your signature. not machine stitch it.

mailing your blocks

as noted above.. we may have more than one group.

so wait till you are told where to mail your blocks.

but this will be centralized.. and you'll be sending your blocks to me.. or another swap parent.

when you do send your blocks.

please put them in a plastic bag & include a SASE with your package.

and please please put enough postage on your original package

deadlines

you have until july 1st to send your completed blocks
so plenty of time... but don't wait till the last minute to make them!
