How long we we be able to buy Christmas fabric, do you know???

Chrys

I think most stores carry some Christmas fabric year round. At least the ones I frequent. Plus there's TONS of online stores too that carry Christmas fabric.

Chrys

Yeah, I figured no one would have a problem with it.

I have no problem with a change in your theme Candiquilts !! Christmas would be fun !!
Thanks for posting the instructions Chrys ~ this makes it easier/faster to find !
The 'early bird threads' have some great pictures of their rows posted ~ some are putting their rows together and sharing their design ideas ~
Chrys, has there been any discussion about doing a journal or labels or signatures on our rows ? I'm not sure what the difference is exactly between the 3 choices, just noticed other groups talking about this.

Chrys

Actually it was me who is changing my theme to Christmas. :)

I havent' seen any of the discussions of the labels, but we can chat about it. What does everyone want to do? A label for the back of the quilt with our signatures and homestate, or just put our signature on our row somewhere?

Ok ~ Christmas for you Chrys ! Keeping track of these threads takes some doing ~ :oops:
:lol:

I like the idea of one label attached to the finished quilt ~ at least for my first time around a row robin !!!!

I've decided my autumn leaf quilt will look amazing with autumn color background material ! What do you all think ? I was initially picturing the blocks on muslin ~ after looking thru lots of books , I like the effect of colored background material ~ and the rows will all blend together !!!

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Bem......I have been thinking about your quilt and I am really exctied to see what will be done....I love leaves and autumn colors! Wish I would have thought of something like that!!! Maybe next time..... Thanks for making us think of the possibilities!! Exciting!!!

Chrys

How's it going ladies??? Have you picked out your blocks yet? Have you pulled out fabric?

Candiquilts

I started and have two blocks finished.......

I am getting more excited everyday thinking about all the different blocks and/or ideas I have.
What about you Chrys????

Question IF and I know it is a bid IF we get finished with our rows early can we send them on to the next person?????

If I want to put sashing between the rows can I request not having my rows sewn together?????
Please Please guys I really want the answers to the questions...
Thanks Candi

1. Let's keep the mailing to the deadlines...you don't want to overboard someone with lots of tops at one time.

2. If you don't want them sewn together then put it in your instructions when you mail it. Unless you cut the sashing already and mail it with your center? I'm sure either way would be fine.
