Thanks for hosting! That's what makes groups stay alive!

Possible things to change:

1. specify that fabric should be 100% cotton.

2. "if it is way off please" could be "if the block is more than 1/8" off, please..." {or whatever criteria you want that is objective}

3. You could specify that the fabric VALUES should be followed as shown in the directions. 'Value' refers to how light or dark the fabric is. It really is what conveys the pattern as it was designed...

I would love to join but if I thought I would possibly receive a block with brown as one of the main prints - sadly that turns me off, and isn't grabbing me......if the color choices are scrappy and senders choice I might be disappointed with what I get simply because I don't care for brown in my quilts. However, if the color options where blue, white and recipients choice, that would have me on board in a heartbeat because then I could say, "please NO BROWN". Yes, I am sorry to be spoiled. To me Brown screams 1970 1980, 1990....However, I could get real happy with even gray, or black instead of brown.....just a spoiled swappers point of view.

May I request that I NOT receive blocks with brown in them? I will be perfectly happy with scrappy blue, white and purple ins my receiving blocks. Please and thank you. If my partner wants brown I can do brown, but I would rather NOT receive brown. Please and thank you.

Mine will not be having brown in it unless you request it specifically. I don't have very much brown because that's not really a favorite color for me but I'm willing to go buy it if need be.

The links above are both for block 1, not block 1 & 2

I'm not a fan of brown either. the blue and purple were examples of some other color to switch to... @perkl8r please choose a color scheme that you like. I think I may go with blues, purples, greens, etc. since I have the most of those. definitely not brown. Don't have any, don't care for it. I think this set may be purple and green. next swap may be green and blue. or even blue and purple. Those are my go-to colors.

please do not feel restricted by the original colors of the quilt. choose your own. I have tried to turn this into a SCRAPPY quilt. I am not going out to buy new fabrics at all! I will be using my stash for this.

well, I am excited for this swap and hoping that I won't have too much postage to turn me off of it in future rounds....INTERNATIONAL swaps are my favorite except the nasty POSTAGE tends to sour me on them.

thank you! perkl8r

I think it would be really cool if the colors we choose are based on our partner's color preferences. That way they get blocks in colors they favor but it still looks scrappy.

The directions for making Block #2 are incorrect.

blues, purples and greens with white for me too....love that mix
