If you have cast a vote, but do not see your name on the list, it is because you have not sent me an email.  I have set a limit of 50 swappers for the repro group.  And 25 for Modern group.
Here are the details:

Make a set of  3 inch finished 9 patches for each swapper using the technique I posted about here.  The sets can be all the same, or you can use up scraps, as long as there is a set for each.  I will confirm the final number at the end of the week.

For repros:  Use a light and a dark fabric.  I don't want to put many restrictions on this because the scrappier the better.  Please us good quality fabrics only.
For modern swap:  Use a light and dark fabric.  Use modern bright new fabrics and avoid muddy colors.  Some solids are fine too.   We will  be doing 2 (different) sets for each swapper because we have less people.  
The deadline will be October 1st.   I want to give everyone time to make them since it's summer.


If you are on a list feel free to start sewing sets!  Have fun!

Hi Barb….am I too late for the repro swap?? If you haven't reached the 50 yet would you please include me!!

I might also be interested in the brights/modern swap too.

Love the 9 patch technique and A-L-L your patriotic quilts!!

Anita in Florida said...

Hi Barb, tried to email you but box came up saying 'invalid address' Anyhow, I'd like to be in the modern group if still open. How many sets for each person? and they don't have to be the same? Thanks, Anita

Vivian said...

I'm hope my e-mail (that I sent a few minutes ago) reached you in time to be included in the repro swap group. But if not, I'll just have to wait till another time. I've never joined a swap before, but repro fabrics are my favorite, and this is just to tempting to ignore. Thanks for organizing it, Barb. I'm already pulling out fabrics, hoping I made the cutoff.

Rachaeldaisy said...

Yay!! It's going to be a 9 patch party!! You've certainly got it all organised. I loved seeing all the examples of different 9 patch quilts.

Amy said...

Starting to pick my fabrics tonight! I'm thinking that these little babies will make great leader/enders while the current project is ongoing. Then they will get the full attention that they deserve.

Jaynie said...

Thinking about joining one of the swaps....curious to know what you consider a "set". How many 9 patches are in a set?

lorene said...

I'm too late to join in this swap, but I was in a swap at a retreat awhile back with 3" nine patches. When I unpack them, maybe I can get mine put together into a top. It looks like you all are going to have fun, and I can't wait to see the quilts!

I do not know whether it's just me or if everybody else encountering
problems with your blog. It appears as though some of the written text in your content are running off
the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well?

This could be a issue with my internet browser because I've
had this happen previously. Kudos

You should try to reduce your screen resolution size. Sounds like you have it at over 100% You can google it for your computer on the web.
