Block Exchange Guidelines

There are 11 of us participating in the block exchange. Here are the guidelines:

Make eleven 12.5"x12.5" blocks. You choose the design, technique, and fabric for your blocks. Color choices should coordinate with the focus fabric. All fabrics should be prewashed to prevent differing rates of shrinkage in the finished quilts.

You will keep one of your 11 blocks and exchange the remaining 10 at the December meeting. This will give you 11 different blocks for your quilt.

Debi will give a demonstration on coping strips at the meeting. This technique helps compensate for differences in finished block size.

Make additional blocks, add sashing, borders, etc. as needed to finish your quilt. The possibilities are endless! It will be fun to see everyone's finished quilts in January.
