I am thinking what would be a fun swap for AFTER the chocolate and rasperberry swap is finished. There is spring/pastel colors, patriotic colors, brights, and the list goes on and on. Sometimes when I know in advance of what we are thinking of making next, I keep my eyes open for fantastic pieces that are reaching out, wanting to go home. And if I have a reason to buy them, then I don't feel so guilty. So, any ideas. . .

how about valentines?

What about a spring time theme, with the basic section being a basket, and we 'fill' it with flowers of our choice, whether it be applique' or pattern? Instead of being a traditional square, how about this block be 'turned' and it is diamond-ish instead?

I like the spring time theme!!! Love your idea Deb :D:D:D We could have them done in time to hang up for Spring :D:D:D

And the basket could be applique' or block patterned as well. Or a block with mini baskets of flowers, just as long as the raw block is the 12.5 size. Just a thought. I have loved the two swaps I have participated in as it does give us a chance to push ourselves out a little from our comfort zone. Right Renee?

Patriotic is always good for me :D

I am wondering how a patriotic swap would work,....there are a number of board members who live in other countries? Should we have a designated person from each country to do their own swap if enough people sign up? Being Canadian, I think patriotic would be great with the winter olympics coming up in February....we even have olympic themed fabric.

Perhaps instead of saying patriotic, it's better to say Red, white, blue. I appreciate that we have lots of friends from other countries that have different colors.

I both the spring and patriotic swap ideas....but I truly love the pastels and I have been dying to make something for myself....that might just give me the chance!

There isn't any reason why we can't have one swap after another :wink: as long as there is enough interest in each one :D:D:D
