Now that the signature block swap is done ... will anyone want to do another quilting block swap in the near future (I know summer's here and everyone's busy with other swaps, vacations/holidays, and enjoying the warm (HOT) weather) ...

Just wanted to get some ideas on possible swaps. Brainstorm and share your ideas here ...

I wouldn't mind doing another one but would prefer to wait until Fall to do something-I find it very hard to get motivated here in AZ during the summer-it's just way too hot! Takes it all out of you just driving home from work in the afternoons.

I'll have to think on ideas. I had a ton of fun doing the signature swap one, picking out the block and then the fabrics.

Hi Brenda, I would also like to do another quilt block swap. Early fall would be fine with me, but too close to Christmas wouldn't work, as I have tons of flannel pj's to produce for ALL the kids, grandkids, neices...etc, etc. Don't have any ideas as of now though, as to what kind. :smile:

Do you use a pattern for it? I use boxers and long pants for my sleeping and I see fabrics I'd love to make it out of and also some for my daughter.

Hey Brenda for the jammies, I usually get patterns for 99 cents at Joann. SOmetimes I use the ones I have, because over the 5 years that I have been doing this, I have acquired alot of different size patterns. I get my flannel at Joann day after Thanksgiving for 99cents. Last year I got 30 yards....lol
