I've GC> wanted to learn to quilt for awhile and have bought several pattern GC> books and insturctional material but never actually sat down and GC> made one. Can you sew a straight line? If so then you can make a quilt block! There are many easy ones for beginners: Nine Patch, Rail Fence, Pinwheel, just to name a few. Greenhorns are welcome in the exchange. We don't hold it gainst you! GC> Would you mind posting the rules etc to me? The rules as I can remember them (I am not the coordinator of the exchange) is that the winner posts her choice of block, colors, and address. If she picks a particular block then she has to post the pattern too. Participants make the block using 100% cottons (unless the winner states otherwise), signs it with Pigma type pens, and mails it to the winner by the end of the month. At the end of the month a new winner is chosen from the participants who haven't won in the last few months (six months if possible). The process starts all over at this point. The QBE was won by me. I chose a 12 1/2" unfinished (that means after being sewn into the quilt the block will be 12". There is a 1/4" seam allowance on all four sides.) block done in any pattern you want to try. My colors are purples and creams. If you don't have my address and decide to make a block let me know and I will send it to you. Maureen Hoffman won the MQBE which is the mini quilt block exchange. Mini blocks are usually 4 to 6" finished size and might be a little difficult for a new quilter to do. However, if you are interested give Maureen a shout and she will tell you what she wants. I am running behind this month and haven't had the time to make the blocks due to being on vacation last week. Later!, Pat --- timEd/386 1.10+ * Origin: Too many hobbies! Too little time!

I have one little problem.. I don't have a stash of fabric to choose from... Guess I should wait till I can go and buy a few colors... hard to make a quilt block if you don't have the color the winner wants! Who is running the exchange? I should give them a shout later when I've had a chance to go down to the fabric store and buy a few fat quarters of different fabric colors.
