Details of Swap
There will now be three options for participation in this swap.
#1. Traditional: Swappers will be placed into small groups of 3-5 members, depending on number of people who sign up. Each swapper will craft 3 blocks for each member of their group. So if there are groups of 3, you would craft 3 blocks for each of the 2 other people in your group, totaling 6 blocks. If the groups are 4 people, you would craft 3 blocks for each of the 3 other people in your group, totaling 9 blocks.
#2. Small Group/Group Lite: Swappers will be placed into a group of 3-5 members, and will craft JUST ONE block for each person in the group. Meaning in a group of 3, they would craft 2 blocks for the other two members of their group. In a group of 5, they would craft 4 blocks, for each of the other 4 members in the group.
#3. Individual: For this option, you would be partnered with a single person, and would craft 1-2 blocks for them, based on what you and your partner decide together.
Please note, the size of the Traditional and Small Groups will be based on how many people sign up overall, and I will attempt to make sure no one feels overwhelmed.
Each swapper will pick 2-5+ quilt block designs they are looking to receive, and give details on desired color & style; with at least one block being a simple beginner-friendly design, while the others may be more challenging. (You may of course pick several beginner friendly blocks.)
If you are hoping to make a whole quilt from the blocks you receive: You are encouraged but not required to craft an example block of the blocks you are requesting, so that partners can get a feel for the style you are going for.
Please Note: If there are members who wish to have just 1 partner, I am open to having an option to accommodate them as well. We can discuss this in the thread during the signup phase.
Finally extras are not required, but participants may decide between themselves if they wish to include scraps of fabric they used in their blocks, for the recipient to use when finishing their quilt, or may decide to include other extras as they wish.
