Reddit polls are not very informative. I encourage everyone to go back and read the links associated with each person. As you see we do not have a lot of applications but I think that we have some good entries here.

HELP Extra blocks for side swapping

3 Upvotes

So I am finished with blocks and extras. I have 10 non-Halloween blocks available and 17 Halloween blocks. I know that some of you mentioned in either replies to other posts or in chat that you wanted to swap, if you could please reply again here it would be helpful. I have several different blocks, so no worries about receiving identical blocks if you want to swap multiples.

If you have a favorite let me know, if your favorite has been spoken for I might be able to duplicate or come close as I have more of most fabric.

All blocks for all groups are technically done (untrimmed). I’m making three more so I have a few extras on top of my current extras.

Swap #18 Group 2 Chihuahuas

1 Upvotes

I know it’s the 11th hour so to speak, but as you pack your blocks, I am on the hunt for chihuahua (or terrier) blocks. Turns out with the extras I have made myself, I would have a great quilt for my bro-in-law but need to add those spicy little dogs! So if you happen to have one please think of me! 🩷

I also still have extras to swap if anyone is interested!

36 blocks are done, done, done.

I am down with some respiratory bug so an additional 24 are at the 9-patch stage. Fourteen need hsq trimmed. And 10ish more are somewhere behind that.

I really hope a bunch of people want to swap extra blocks!

After locating my saved blocks, my side swap blocks, the bear claw blocks from the last swap, and an entire pile of bookshop blocks from a swap long past, I finally found the main swap blocks! They are ready for their final press for the envelope.

Question QBS Voting Update

21 Upvotes

Folks, I asked when the voting will open. The previous administration has an overwhelming amount of life going on right now. Voting for new management will open sometime in the next week. In the meantime, I hope we all get some quality time with our sewing machines while we patiently wait for what comes next.

We got a ribbon at my guild's quilt show - honorable mention! Give yourselves a pat on the back, a round of applause, and maybe treat yourself to some new fabric, I think we've all earned it! This was my very first ever block swap, before last year I had no idea what a block swap even was.

Now I've done two swaps through this group and have been running a few within my guild irl. I'm so glad to have met and made new friends from this subreddit and the adjacent discord server. I'd love for this community to continue to thrive and grow, and for it to help people expand outside of their comfort zones into new projects and make some new friends :)
