Oh My Stars!

Good Morning!  Here are the blocks we'll be swapping in 2020!!
 Reproduction Blocks:  Repro fabric with unbleached muslin.   You can make them from one fabric or use a contrasting fabric for the star points.
Modern Blocks:  Use 1 black and white printed fabric for the center and any bright solid for the star points.

The blocks are 6" finished.

You'll be making 1 block per person in your group; 35 modern and 40 repro, if we reach the maximum sign ups; for a total of 35 - 40 blocks total.

They are due to me 1/11/20 - firm

I will post a tutorial with detailed instructions and tips on making perfect 6" star blocks.

SIGN UPS ARE BY EMAIL ONLY STARTING FRIDAY 11/1
The reason for this is so that I can build a database of email addresses for sending out mailing and packing instructions and other information.

As you can imagine, it is a lot of work and takes a lot time to wrangle these swaps together but I think it has been well worth it in the past. It is always fun to receive the blocks and I hope you'll join in the fun!

I will be posting a reminder here and everywhere on Friday Morning.

You'll be in the swap when you receive a confirmation email from me.

I hope you like the blocks!

Yippee I love sawtooth stars... it's one of my all time favourite blocks to see and to sew!

Kyle said...

Oh, I wish I could. Too many commitments between now and when they'd be due. Hopefully, next year.

Kim said...

Can we do both or do you want us to do only one or the other? Thanks for the new swap Barb :0) I can't wait to get going on these :0) Happy Sewing!
