9-Patch Rainbow Quilt BOM #3-Yellow

Yellow Rainbow nine-patch

3-9-16 thru 3-29-16

While @twobluecrows is away from us I will attempt to continue this fun swap for her. I promise to do my best to keep to her high standards and I look forward to her coming back to us in the future.

“I'm hoping to get enough to join this quilt block swap for the duration (6 months) so we can all have enough to make a whole quilt!

The idea is to have 4 partners for whom we will make 5 9-patch blocks in specific colors, 4 to send 1 to each partner and 1 to keep--not specific in the fabrics (except all cotton quilt fabrics), but more scrappy to use up some stash!

The first swap was for 5 blocks of reds--in the quilt pattern, these will be the upper left one and bottom right 4.

This, the 2nd swap will be for Oranges, 2 for the row after the first red, and 3 for the lower right after the 2nd red--look at the image to get the idea.

We'll do 5 yellows, 5 greens, 5 blues and 5 purples, so you can start anytime since it's sender's choice which scraps you have to use. The blocks will be 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" when ready to send. Here is a general pattern to follow if you're not familiar with the 9-Patch. 5" charms will work if you have them to use, just trim them to 4 1/2" and use a 1/4" seam allowance.

The swaps will have signup dates as the 9th of each month and the 29th for the send-by (even February--it's a Leap Year!)

So sign up, and start scrapping!”
