Purple charm quilt

My neighbor gave me a chain letter for quilters--you send out two 6x6 inch squares of purple fabric, add your name, etc, etc. I'm not a fan of chain letters myself, plus mathematically I don't think the numbers work quite right, but I think it would be neat to have a quilt with fabrics that others chose.

So how about it? I'm thinking we could all go and get some 100% cotton fabric with some purple on it, whether it be checked, floral, patterened, solid, stripe, etc--whatever speaks to us-- cut the squares and have a swap.

I guess it would depend on how many people wanted to participate, how many squares we would each have to contribute. I'd be willing to collect the squares and then send them back out to everyone. I was thinking a 72 block quilt, but that's negotiable.


Pm me if you're interested.

I sent mine out today! I had more left over than I thought I would so I hope every one has the right amount! This will be my 2nd quilt, so I will most likely leave it blocked. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with as well!

Okay, I am going shopping tomorrow....will ship out on Monday.

However, because of late adds and so on, I am a little confused...

Are we sending 9 or 10 people 9 6x6 squares of fabric? Or more??

I got my first fabric yesterday - I love it!
I am planning on just the blocks, with a border and a nice fluffly tied quilt for our house. See, I haven't managed to make myself a quilt yet!

It seems that's the deal. I went through my personal group emails and that is all the info that I have. Not counting the person who would have made the 11th, that you can personally email. I still think it's 8 to each person making 80 squares.
