Block Swap

   I Spy Quilts

We are finishing this block swap in August.  We will start a new Christmas mystery quilt using the paper piecing method.

 A swap is an easy way to collect an assortment of blocks with lots of different fabrics. Each month you will make 6 blocks from the same fabrics. Bring your blocks in by the end of the month and Sandy Dumstorff will swap the blocks out with blocks that other people have brought in. When we are finished you will have 36 different blocks to use in your quilt! Each month we will give you a different block pattern. The cost is $5.00 to register. We will give more specific directions when you sign up. The first blocks are due August 31, 2010..
