Okay, I need some help. I have a pattern for each of the following, please help me figure out which to do, cat, dog and goose. I am leaning towards goose just because it is different! Think it would be okay!?!?

OK - swapping newbie here with questions:
1. Is the 12" block the finished or unfinished dimension? Most other swap direction asked for 12.5" unfinished. That's why I ask.
2. How does it work when there are more than 12 participants. I thought that we make as many blocks as we have participants so everyone gets one each. Somehow I must not understand the plan.

12.5 UNFINISHED blocks. :)
The other swaps I have been a part of each have us create groups of 12, and you receive a random assortment of 12 blocks from the completed group. IF you would like one of everyone's blocks, you definitely could do that. You'll just be a busy lady! lol!
Right now, with the current list, if you make two sets of 12 blocks- 24 total- you will have one of everyone's blocks. That is my current goal as well.
IF EVERYONE WANTS ONE OF EVERYONE ELSE'S BLOCKS, We could "close" sign ups after 24 members join. Then, however, we each would have to commit to making 24 of each of our chosen designs. Some people would like to do two designs, which would mean that they would have to make 48 blocks. That is a lot to ask.
Other random questions I have been asked:
Yes, international is a-ok! Our very own Blue Chicken is from New Zealand!
sandpat- Lol, I hope you don't mind I signed you up! You said you wanted a particular design on the other board- the chicken group- so I "reserved" it for you. Im too lazy to look now, what was it? A cow? lol. I thought you expressed interest. Don't feel obligated!
KGood- Goose!!! Our duck dropped out! :lol: Im bias, as I love geese. Nasty, mean creatures.. but so flippin cute. I always am compelled to feed them at the park...

Yeah, I think it may scare people away. Let's leave it as is, and whomever wants everyone else's blocks can make extras on their own. It is more fun to have lots of people- we get a nice assortment that way. (I tend to brainstorm while typing.. bad habit...)

The grass and sky background would work well for applique (which is what I'm doing), but maybe not for paper piecing? I've never PP'd so don't really know . . . just guessing.
I'll do whatever the consensus is for background so that the blocks have consistency.
