Description:

Hello All,

You will make a 12-1/2 inch square block using black and white fabrics. The design and method of making the block is maker's choice -- a traditional block (many ideas online and in magazines), a block of your own design, a paper pieced block -- just so you use black and white, applique if you like. Here is the TWIST - If your partner would like a TWIST of color - They will comment below what color they would like added in. I would suggest adding a tonal small print fabric for that pop of color. We have all seen those gorgeous black and white quilts with that splash of color. I have found some nice examples on this website http://sodypopsart.wordpress.com/2009/04/02/black-and-white-quilt/

I will check the comments regularly for questions and answer them the best I can.

I plan to do this as a monthly swap - If we get regulars that would like to push the time up a bit and do more than one a month or increase partners I'd be willing to do that too. If I am unable to carry this on I would love for someone else to take the reins in the future!

You do NOT have to have a twist - and if you do not comment below your partner should assume that you just want a black & white block!

I'm looking for either purple or green.

I'd love my Twist to be either Cherry Red or Cobalt/Royal blue.

I'm a little irked by the "no-twist" choice for this swap--not a big irking just a little squinch of my cheek irk--if you want a black and white block, why not just join that swap (or run it yourself, maybe?)

Please don't take offense, I'm happy to make you the non-color you like if you are my partner, just wondering why, sort of, more of a late cold afternoon crankiness rant. lol

I know I'm a little late, but if my partner sees this before she makes my block, I would love bright blue or bright green! =)

@twobluecrows I just saw your post. This swap was originally @Junemoon 's and it was a black and white only swap and when she finished I asked if I could continue the swap, I then sent out an expression of interest to those in the last swap and June made the suggestion of the colour twist to get more people interested. I personally have no interest in a twist of colour at this time.
Cheers!!
