Thanx Star its a pretty straight forward block and an excellent choice for a beginner. |

so, if I chose to do 2 blocks, I will be sending in a total of 36 blocks, right? i think the lady meant she wanted to do block 12 but left out which row its in. i don't think there's enough time in this swap to do 12 sets of 18 blocks. :lol: |
I'm in - D-13 Field of Dreams - I found a web site with directions for all the blocks - I'll post it in a minute - - -

www.dearjane.com has a grid labelling the blocks as Klue describes.
You find the block you want in the picture of the quilt, figure out which row (A-M) and which block (1-13). Go to the grid, click on your block and you'll find directions for how to make it. If you're lucky, it'll be a 5 inch UNFINISHED block. |

can there be duplicate blocks ? I have never done any of the swaps and am afraid mine won't be good enough as a beginner . |

this is what i have so far
sharon i put in as a maybe for block M10 Dear Jane Christmas Block Swap Colletta = A6 Norbanaquilts = H13 and K12 MNQuilter = I2 Star = D6 JoanneS = D13 Sharon B = M10? |
Another question. Didn't Janes mostly finish at 4.5 , how do I adjust for the 5 inch finish ?
|
4 1/2" finished = 5" unfinished. Isn't that what we're doing?
