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.
i got my first package today! thanks kerrie! pretty. i love it!
i am going to mail mine in the am! thanks everyone, this is fun!
what is everyone's plan? i think i am going to use up some white and turn it into a pinwheel quilt. we should all post pictures when we are finished...even if it is months from now!
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!
Kerrie and Helen, got the fabric. Thanks! I am a bit confused as well,,, I thought it was 9 people getting 8 pieces. That's okay! Kerrie yours will go out Monday. Do I need to send everyone an extra peice as well?
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.
I guess I'm the 11th? I never got the list of addys to send to. Can someone email it to me? So is should I send 8 squares to everyone? or what? I'm slightly confused!
mine were mailed out a few days ago...but i need to get a bit more fabric for you, pixie! will mail yours as soon as i can! thanks everyone...this has been fun. nice to get "presents" in the mail!
