I think my fabrics choose my block, more than me choosing it.

I'm still amazed at how different a block looks when made up in different fabrics.

My second set will be the Lover's Knot.

Great! That gives me time to find some yellow fabric I can use.

I have another question: are all 12 blocks we send supposed to be the same fabrics/block pattern, or can they be different? I was thinking maybe I could use some scraps, but then all my blocks wouldn't necessarily be exactly the same.

Thanks!

As long as they are the same block using scraps will be fine. I know some people used entirely all FQ's for the swap blocks.

Well, I thought about it and I'm going to decline.
I have so many other projects I HAVE to get done.
Maybe next time.

Gotta NOT do sometime!

i'm doing the friendship block and i just finished cutting up the fabric.

i used 2 different yellow fabrics and 3 different blue fabrics because people are concerned about the shades.

this way there's a blue shade to suit some ones taste and a yellow to suit some ones taste.

there's something for everyone :D

I question was brought to me via pm. The concern is about if any of the blocks will be made in a smoking environment. Does anyone have any input on this subject?

klue - which friendship block are you making? there are several of them out there -

blocks that come from a smoky environment?

maybe they could either be washed or aired outside before sending them in? washing does require repressing, but it can be done -

there is also a difference between where people only smoke outside and where six people are smoking five packs a day each inside in a 10 x 10 room -

maybe have a non-smoking friend sniff them and go from there?

when my DH smokes, he does so outside, but I can tell from 20 feet away when he comes in that he just had a smoke. the UGH factor sort of fades as my nose gets deaf to the smell.

It was thoughtful of this person to ask.
