Getting very frustrated right now....UGH....I've cut my pieces so that I can make 1 block to see how it works. The measurements on Block #78 are wrong. I don't understand how to put this together. It's the rectangle size that is incorrect and I can't figure out what size to really make it. I NEED HELP!!!! And boy...are these small pieces..YIKES!!!

I think I got the rectangle figured out. Now it's the middle part in between the 4 patch's. I did what I thought but once you sew it all together it does not come out to be a 5" block at all....I'm putting it away for today, I've had enough.

Mishnjim,
I have heard that the printer settings can throw the block off. On your printed copy in the lower right hand corner, there is a line to measure accuracy. Is it 1" from the bottom of your printed page? RETRO |

I have not recieved any PMs about swappers outside of the continental U.S. If this is not the case, please PM me this week.
All my best, RETRO |
But the pattern isn't PP. Does that still make a difference. I was reading the instructions on how to cut everything. I don't know...I'm gonna have a friend help me next week, if I can't figure it out then I won't have this one to swap. I did sign up for a PP one so hopefully that one will work out.
Thank you for your help Retro. |
You're welcome, Mishnjim. If you need to change your block, please don't stress about it. Just let me know. =)

This thread has been pretty quiet....hoping all's well. If you have any questions, please feel free to post here or via pm. Everyone must be out enjoying the beautiful weather we're having!!
All my best, RETRO |

Linda (Windy Canyon),
Thanks for checking in. No rush on your choices, I'm just updating where I can for those who would like to choose blocks that haven't been claimed yet. Repeats are also acceptable since we're such a big group. All my best, RETRO |
abonda, thanks for checking in. The list has been updated to reflect your numbers as well. I'll continue to update the above messages as I get new info in.
|
I so want to join this swap, just so many projects to do (like everyone else).
I thought I read somewhere that we we could make 12 of one block, that counts for 2 sets. My question is will we get back 2 of that block or 1 of it and a different one? Thanks |
Bettia, it should not be a problem to make 12 of one block as long as it's not a popular one. I think most people on the thread are looking for variety.
|
Retro,
You bet. I don't know how many I want to do right now, but they all would be different than the ones someone else is making. I too, would like to receive all different blocks back. My choice of blocks will be chosen from these #'s; 22, 34, 53, 59, 71, 82. So, the answer to my question is that if I make 12 of one block I would get back 2 different blocks. Is this correct? Thank you. |
Retro,
I have to limit myself down on this one so please take number 10 off the list for me. Thank you so much! Hugs April |
I'll update the list, LovingIzabella.
Bettia, if you are making 12 blocks, you are receiving 12 different blocks in return, not 2 sets of 6 matching. |
Hi, Retrogirl - Could you please change my choices to #38 and #56 (not # 88). Thanks.
|
absolutely, MadeinMaine...you are updated. =)
|
that's right. don't know what i was thinking.
i don't know as i will make all of those blocks or any of them, if I do, I will be choosing from them what i will be making, so as not to make repeats. |
Bettia, not to worry. I'm sure if you were asking the question someone else was thinking it, too. I think I have a bit of spring fever, anxious to get out into the garden and may not be as descriptive as I could be.
Happy Quilting everyone!! |

Retrogrl02---Please take me off of the swap (#76 & 78). I was trying to do one of them and the instructions are wrong. I had 2 people in my quilt group try and help me and we couldn't figure it out. I have too many swaps that I have joined anyhow. Sorry.

If someone can figure out on #22 how to get that last piece on the first block, let me know. It's probably me. |
Yes i would also like to join in the fun. I'll do 1 set of #24'#70,#8,#87Thanks

I am going to bow out of this swap. I don't think I will finish my blocks in time. Sorry everyone.
|
thank you wilhelmina
|
please put me down for 1 set of 24,70,87,8 Thanks
|
Yes sign me up 1 set of 24,70,87,8
|
ljdugas31, I have you updated. Please refer to page 15, the section that I wrote. Some have quoted it, making it a bit confusing.
|
ok block 24,70,8,87
|
Ok, please put me down for 10, 55, 56 and 88. I know others are doing those but hopefully, we each have different fabrics. I know on #10 I am planning to flip the dark colors to the outside corners so that will make mine a little different twist on the block.
Thanks for all of your organizing Retrogirl. |
ok..Life happened and my blocks were arguing with me anyhow lol.. I will have to bow out retro, sorry! I really love 30s prints too so hopefully something else will come up :) Good luck everyone!
|
I finally finished my blocks!!!!
Now just waiting for an address to send them to... |
