Okay this is the second of several 12" block patterns that I thought I would trial with you all. The idea of this particular swap is that we each make a 12" applique block, for a partner in the colour shades/tones they would like. Now you can select the applique pattern yourself and perhaps a look at your partners profile might suggest using a cat or flower shape and give you an idea what to choose? If we try and use fabrics in colours of a partners own choice, later we could make other blocks, in similar colour ways (though not necessarily in the same fabrics), so we may all be able to ultimately piece them together and make a bed cover or wall hanging? So in this swap it is 1 x 12" block which has some form of either hand or machine stitched applique on it. You choose the applique be it traditional pattern or of your own design. We will have 1 partner, international entry and only 4.9 ratings and above. Email me directly if you feel you should be able to enter despite your rating. If you are new to swap bot and not rated as yet, email me directly and we can discuss it but I will not tolerate flaky swappers and there are a few 'newbie' swaps so you can pick up ratings quite quickly.

Now I will make a 12" block for a partner and a block for myself in exactly the same style. Having posted away my partners block and then received another block I will have two applique blocks but with different fabrics and patterns. Still with me? lol My idea is to put a few different, straight forward block swaps up and if feed back asks for more complicated blocks then perhaps we'll do those too.

Hiya folks, hope you feel inclined to join in.

My colour preferences would be to achieve an overall bed cover with powdery blue, lilac, light rather than day glo bright pink, light green and creams with say mid blue, purple, mid greens and caramel to beige as any darker fabics?

That gives most folks a stab at what they may already have in their stash of fabrics!

My color preferences are creams, browns, and red (a tomato-soup-kinda-red). I do not like the cutesey country calico look; my tastes are slightly more contemporary.
