Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla - Oh My!

Feb 18, 2009 10 Replies

And yes, this is on topic! Anyone interested in a neapolitan block swap? Pink, brown and cream, 6 inch blocks to be posted in the mail by about June 1st - ish? Just starting to get a show of hands...I have four so far that are interested, could use a few more if you'd like!

That sounds like fun! I would be interested.

Thanks!

Wow! You guys are hungry for summer and ice cream eh?

Basically what I have thus far is 6" blocks, you pick the pattern and make all the same pattern in brown, pink and cream (thinking of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream). Then, when finished, mail off to the rest of the group and patiently (or maybe not so patiently) await for yours to arrive as well. Place in the mail no later than June 1st, maybe?

I'll work on it some more, but keep the questions flying!

so this is not a centralized swap but a one on one? a limit to number of swappers?

I might be interested. I love strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla fabrics.

I can't believe I'm actually saying "count me in" to a block swap - but I am. I am especially loving these new neapolitan pinks and browns that are coming out. Just let me know how many blocks to make.

I was in a swap of this colour scheme - two rounds actually - and I don't even like pink. Well, I didn't like pink, but now I've come round. The colours work really well together, and someone asked if Civil War reproduction fabrics are okay - I'm using some now and they work really well. I like the old browns and double pinks together with some tiny brown shirting on ivory. Really nice!

I started these blocks for a quilt for my sister, but now I want one too!

Ok, guys, I'll start putting my brain to work on this over the weekend and have something posted by Monday. (Maybe before if the kids behave.) Boca Jan has offered the blockswaps groups over at Yahoo! Groups to run this little exchange...so we'll get everyone joined up over there. Looks like we may have about 10-12 swappers already (with a couple of people that want to be clones of themselves and do it double!)
