Patriotic Star Block Swap (revised)

[pdjewelrylady1]

The Patriotic Star Block Swap has been revised!!
The change is to allow players to create Star Blocks in her choice of pattern and size (the one we were using was confusing us!! LOL)

You may make a favorite or try something new!!

We will still be using only red / white / blue patriotic "novelty" themed focus fabrics. No americana or muted r/w/bs - think american flag vibrant prints. not calicos - there are pictures on the group album if you have questions - ask before you cut

total number of blocks will be equal to number of players (15 players = 15 blocks) sign up by joining the group above by June 5 with mailing date by July 15......

Re: Patriotic Star Block Swap (revised)

Even though the pattern is our choice, do you have a finished block size in mind?

Re: Patriotic Star Block Swap (revised)

I'm in, Suzi! Thanks for posting the "patriotic star block" swap revision! This will make a beautiful quilt. It'll be so fun to make lots of stars in bright red, white and blue patriotic fabrics. Joann's has a sale on their patriotic fabrics right now! I see you didn't mention white as a background fabric so I'm assuming we can do whatever combination we want for our blocks. I think I'm going to do mine with white background and choose a star that will look good in a red and blue combination. Now to have fun deciding on a block. There are only a gazillion choices for star blocks! LOL

Re: Patriotic Star Block Swap (revised)

Can I join in again? I have the red, white and blue . . . I can just drop the others that I bought and use them for something else. I can always get more of the above. The fabrics are still on my blog

I tried putting them here but it got way to big. I can do it with the new date and a less complicated block.

Re: Patriotic Star Block Swap (revised)

I'm in.

And evidently "I'm in" is too short a message to post by itself.
