The Popular Patchwork 2013 group quilt block swap. Twelve blocks, twelve months, and hopefully, a quilt each by 2014!
This year, we've started a slightly different sort of quilt block swap, which lasts for a full twelve months, and includes some members of Winnie's quilt group in France. The group is now closed, so we can't take any more new members, but please drop in to catch up on progress so far.
Everybody has selected their own colours for the swap, and each month everyone will make and send a block to another member.
Rosemary choses the blocks each month and they will gradually increase in difficulty starting with a nine patch. The blocks will all be 12ins square, and the swap will last for 11 months starting in February. The final 12th block to complete each quilt will be made by the owner of the set. There are 26 ladies taking part in this, so there should be lots of lovely blocks to see here very soon.

The final block is called "Miss Molly's Garden" and is foundation pieced. You will need to print 4 copies and add a centre 4 1/2 inch square to make the block! Remember to set the page scale to "none" when printing. (please ask Katy or Rosemary for a copy of the foundation pattern if you lose the email)
If you need help with foundation piecing then have a look at quilterscache.com where it is called "paper piecing" or in your favourite book. It is a good way of piecing more complicated blocks or ones which have really tricky points!
Just to let you know I have chosen this block because my Mum was called Molly!! I had always planned for this to be the final block and had talked to Katy about it in July. As things have turned out though I am so pleased by the idea of Mum being in all your quilts!!
Thank you all once again for being part of this group. I am sorry I haven't managed to swap with you all, maybe next time....and there WILL be a next time
