Welcome to the Shoo Fly Swap Page |
|||||||||||||||||||||
BASIC GUIDELINES | |||||||||||||||||||||
1. Only use 100% cotton (quilt quality) material that has been pre washed. 2. Be sure that the seam allowance is a scant 1/4" and that the finished block size is accurate. 3. Once the due date has been set please do your best to keep your commitment. I realize that things happen that we have no control over, should this occur please contact the hostess and see if it is possible to get an extension,or let her know that you have to drop out of the swap. 4. General block directions are available at the Quilters Cache. Notice that we are doing these slightly smaller, so you will need to adjust your cutting size. 5. Have fun. Make new friends. Did I remember to say HAVE A LOT OF FUN!!!!! 6. All swap items must reach the hostess by the due date, unless an extension has been granted. IF someone fails to mail their swap items, the extras meant for them will be returned to the original sender(s). |

BLOCK GUIDELINES | |||||||||||||||||||||
BLOCK SIZE - 6" finished ( 6 1/2" unfinished) SET SIZE - 12 blocks per set and each person may submit up to six (6) sets per swap. If submitting more than one set please use different fabric for each set. But keep in mind that there is the possibility of getting duplicates and/or some of your own blocks back if you send in multiple sets or we only have a few participants. COLOR SCHEME - Red, and white, yes tone on tones are acceptable. Yes prints are acceptable as long as they read true to the color scheme. If there is enough interest I will gladly continue this on a bi-monthly basis. I am also open to suggestions for more color schemes that you might be interested in doing. I can be reached at hostess. Please put Shoo Fly Swap in the subject line. |
