Third Block Swap

The third block swap will be turned in at the October meeting. We will be trading bow tie blocks with bright fabric bow ties and a light grey background. The unfinished block size will be 6 ½” . Each swapper will make 64 blocks and the trades will go in sets of 4. So, you will get 16 sets of four 6” blocks. (This way you will get the equivalent of 16 12” blocks as we did in our other swap and your quilt will be big enough to use.) These blocks are pretty fast, so although 64 sounds like a lot, it shouldn't be too bad. The guild voted to swap both the 3 dimensional and 2 dimensional blocks, which ever pattern you choose to make. 

 I have turned the tutorial into a PDF which you can download Bow Tie Block Tutorial. It includes great step by step instructions for creating these blocks
