Block Swap - Two weeks left!

The deadline for the block swap is fast approaching, and the swappers are doing great! This is my current list, let me know if you are on the list and want to be removed, or if you are not on the list and need to be added. All the names in green I have blocks from already, so it's more than half at this point - great job (and mine are done, and since I am the queen of procrastination I deserve a big pat on the back!).


Here is a picture of the pile on my table, isn't it great! I haven't opened the packages yet, am waiting for the right time to savor looking at all the scrappy goodness inside these squishy packages. My mail carrier has been quite curious as to the nature of all these wonderful packages, so I will have to show her some of them. Who knows, I may get another quilter started!

Hope you are all having as much fun using your scraps as I am!

Quiltsy Scrap Block Swap

Time to start planning for our next block swap. For this one we will be doing a scrap block swap! To get us started I have added a poll to the side of the blog for block size. Please vote and let us know what size block you would be interested in. At this point I am thinking quilters choice for colors and pattern, so we will be able to make some super scrappy quilts! This will be a centralized swap, and I (Pamelaquilts) will act as hostess for this one. We'll decide how many blocks as we figure out how many people are interested in participating. (I think we'll set the deadline then also, so we allow enough time for the amount of blocks we will be making) This swap is for Quiltsy members only.

I will start off the list with myself and add names as you confirm that you for sure want to join in!
