First to Finish

Oh yes, there is always a few eager quilters in every round that ~~make us all feel behind and like slackers~~ amaze us all with how quickly they get their quilts finished!

First to finish is tlhcrawford, with each log cabin block finishing at only 3"!

Craktpot (teri) made a lovely round quilt full of colors and lots of patterns:

Natalie.leppard made an amazing little quilt with a great quote, and even seems to be having a hard time deciding weather to keep or send it!

Swap Guidlines

The swap guidelines are as follows:

There are 5 quilt blocks that have been chosen. You are to choose 1 of the blocks and incorporate in into your quilt. You can make the whole quilt with the one block repeated or use just one of the blocks somewhere in your quilt.

You also will be required to include a solid of your choosing in any color OTHER than white. This means you shouldn't use shades of white either: cream, sand, off white, antique white, etc. You need to have a minimum of 6 blocks.

The blocks to choose from are as follows:
1. Churn dash / Shoofly
2. Log Cabin
3. Drunkards Path
4. N.Y. Beauty
5. Flying geese

SIZE: from 9"x9" to 20"x20"... any size or shape in between

MATERIALS: natural fibers/ cotton, wool, linen

CONSTRUCTION: Pieced, appliqued, quilted by hand or machine; and bound

LABEL: It is recommended that you attach a label to the back of your quilt. A label is a very nice addition to any handmade quilt. Whether or not you decide to label your quilt, please do include a note with your quilt with your name and contact information (URL, blog, email address, etc. so they can thank you.)

SECRET: This will remain a secret swap. Your partner will not know your identity. If you need to get in contact with your partner do so thru your swap parent.

ACTIVITY: Please be sure to check in to the group periodically and check everyone's progress. Post sneak peeks of your WIP, and your completed quilt. Once you have received your quilt, post a pic of it on Flickr, and email your thank you to your partner as soon as physically possible. Email of flickrmail your Mama to let her know you received.

DUE DATE: The dealine for all quilts to be mailed is April 2, 2012 (international) and April 9, 2012 for those sending nationally. Also please email your swap parent when you have mailed your quilt. Delivery confirmation is required within the U.S.
In addition to have a DEADLINE for sending BY a certain date, we also ask that you NOT SEND TOO EARLY. Part of the fun of this swap is the anticipation, and if you send out within the first month, your partner is essentially done. NO fun. Please SEND NO EARLIER THAN March 15th, 2012.

COMMUNICATION: If for any reason you cannot meet the deadline or need to drop out of this swap, please let your swap Mama know as soon as you know. If you commincate any setback with us, we can make sure things ork out favorably for your partner, no hard feelings.
