FALL STRING SWAP 2023

Hi everyone! I have started a messenger chat for this swap. this is just to check and see who is interested in doing it and then we can switch back here. So far we have 4 players including myself, so please let me know ASAP if you want to do it or not by Thursday, Oct 12. We will start soon afterwards. Thank you!

My apologies for not being on the past day or so, I have not been feeling my best, a sinus headache. But I am feeling better now so let’s start planning before the month turns into November. Wow, the time sure does go by quickly!

Shall we try the same standard block or try a different variation on strings?

This one is really pretty and can be found here:

I think that the maximum size should be 9.5 inches squared.

Or we could do crumbs;

Here is what I did with our swap from a year ago, I believe it was called crumb blocks:

Now is the time to decide what we want to swap:

1. Fall colors, gold, brown, green, orange, yellow
2. Christmas or Holiday colors
3. Halloween
4. Dark color, monochromatic or light gradating to dark

I know that not everyone wants to swap and that is fine with me. But you do have the option of following along and making your own string blocks for yourself.

Depending on how many sign up, shall we do, if more than 6 players, 3 blocks to each person, and if we have less than 5 players, 4 blocks to each person. I think that this is a fair number, please let me know otherwise.

So far we have 4 players including myself. Any other players?

Please post below and also email me your choice at thepinkquilter@gmail.com. before October 10.

Thank you!
