I could contact admin to see, but so far I've just been counting each time I want to check. Also did every one note that one swapper is submitting two sets, one for her and one for her daughter.

How's everybody's blocks coming out?
I'm still having trouble with mine. :cry:
No matter what I try, it just doesn't come out to 3.5" square.
I get 3.25" on some, and 3.5" on the others.
My white squares are 3.5" exactly, but when I sew on the corner squares and turn them over to press, something is messing up. :evil:
Is everybody measuring EACH square?
I'm about ready to give up. Any other ideas?
HELP!!!!!!!!

I spoke to my daughter last night about this and she is soooo thrilled!!! Her facial expression was priceless... She can't believe she is going to do this! She has been boo hoo hoo because I joined the SQA and she is seeing all the pretty gifts coming in and me sending. I think this will help the blues, motivate her quilting ability and we can work together :) I've got the white squares all cut and this weekend we're going to fight over the sewing machine to get it done :( :mrgreen: :lol: I'm going to start my set and she get's to pick out squares for her set! As the # of participants go up we'll keep on making them!

If it were me to make the list IŽd enter her name and her daughterŽs - maybe hers twice - so that the list shows how many are swapping. This could avoid wrong counting in the future supposing we forget it or late joiners do not read all posts.
Just my 2 cents.

HELP!!!!!!!!

when you sew them together make sure you are sewing just past your line then when you press it will come out at 3.5, sew a hair past your line

That's a wonderful idea but on the activity page you can enter each person only once for each boardname. Her daughter does not have a board name so there is no way to add her.

Ok I'm in. for 12 , more if needed. So they can be all different colors, Just so white in the middle right?
Will be great for making blocks with everyones names.
Oh Lordy you've got me hooked on the swaps.

NorBanaquilts 02-18-2010 12:08 PM

Yes, the middle is white, the corners can be anything you wish as long as it is 100% cotton.
