Description:

Hello Ladies, I have accepted the challenge of hosting this swap for Slewis234 who has been unwell in hospital. I have copied her text from below. If anyone felt generous and wanted to make an extra block for her as a get well I am sure she would gladly accept.

Well Ladies, So far we're having a lot of fun making quilt blocks and swapping them with our partners for a quilt to be made later in the year from these blocks. So this swap will be #4 in the series of quilt blocks. If you are just now joining in, that's fine you can always add blocks of your own creation to make up for the ones you've missed or do some private block swapping here with your friends. I think that these blocks will make a lovely quilt to be admired.

The swap will consist of senders choice of colors on the "Irish Chain" block pattern so you can start working on your block right away.

The size of the block you will make will be 12.5" x 12.5" so that when it's finished and put into the quilt, the blocks will be 12"x12".

Please do your best work and make something you'd love to receive. I will host a different block pattern each month so don't forget to come back and check out the next month. You can start in the series at any time. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Please note the dates for signing up and sending. I was a little late entering this so there isn't as much time as before.

If you don't intend to finish and mail your blocks, please don't join. Perhaps later would be a better time.

Cheers, Ali

Thank you Gixxychic for hosting the swap for me. I love the block you picked out. It's quite lovely and I think will make a nice addition to the ongoing blocks series for the quilt.

Ladies, I hope you all enjoy the swap and doing your best work for your partner. It's nice to be able to show off your sewing skills. Thanks for all your participation and I hope you'll be back for next month's swap too!

I made one block last night and it came up just a bit over 12" I'll have a look at the pattern. Trouble is I use several different rulers at sewing group! :(
