For this swap we will be swapping quilting blocks! (18")

2 blocks to 1 partner.

It is a BOM quilt from 2011, by TK Harrison. Very cute and easy quilt! Great for beginners and advanced quilters alike! This original design for BOMquilts.com and AbbiMays.com! I chose it because it looks like it would be scrap friendly--in moderation!

Finished Quilt Size:

69″ x 89″. The monthly patterns can be found (for free) at: https://bomquilts.com/free-original-bomquilts-com-patterns/free-block-of-the-month-quilt-pattern-purely-nine/

Rating:

If you get your block and it meets requirements please rate a 5. Hearts, as always, are at your discretion. Please no quilt police - we all try to do our best and I really want these swaps to be inviting and not stressful. However, with that in mind I do understand that measurements are super important with quilting...so if the block is more than 1/8" off, please give the swapper the chance to re-do the square for the full 5.

For This Swap:

We will be doing Quilt squares #7 and #8. The directional links are below:

Block #8 Maple Leaf:

Color Rules:

Scrappy materials, in 3 main colors. The Quilt pattern calls for Brown, Blue, and White. Since we are doing these scrappy, please feel free to change your "brown" to a "blue" or "purple" and use that criteria for the whole square... These should be prints, no solids - this is meant to be scrappy. Generally, smaller scale prints work best. Also, please watch the VALUE of the blocks (dark vs. light). Fabrics should be 100% cotton. (No brown materials please...)

Please note:

Block #7 has a 4th color added to it--Cream. (original colors = brown, blue, white, AND CREAM)

Working Ahead:

Please feel free to work ahead on the blocks, as it is not color/profile specific...

Your Blocks:

SHOULD BE 18 1/2" X 18 1/2" each (which will finish in the final quilt at 18" x 18").
