Round One of our Journal Quilt Squares Swap
This First Round will have more time to complete than some of the future rounds.
Pre-Swap Requirements
- You will post some type of photo of yourself into the Flickr Group created for this project. (If you do not have a Flickr and do NOT wish to create one, you can email me the pic, and I will list it for you). I would like the photos to be one of you when you were small. This could include baby photos or you as a child. If you do not have one of you as a small child, than older will be acceptable. You will not be allowed to join this round if you do not have a photo posted by the time partners are assigned as it won't be fair to your partner. This Flickr group IS private, so please don't be worried about others accessing your picture!
Swap Requirements
- You will find your partners picture in the Flickr Group. You can print this out on paper, fabric, whatever type of medium YOU choose to use the picture for your Quilt Block/Quiltie. Size of picture is up to you also.
- You will create ONE (1) Journal Quilt Block/Quiltie for your partner with the focal point being thier picture.
- The size of your Journal Quilt Block/Quiltie will be 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" (21.59 cm x 21.59 cm)
- The picture (signing the block and the size of block) are the only requirements of this first round. All other design aspects are up to you, the creator. (see more info at the bottom)
- The Journal Quilt Block/Quiltie will have a front, some type of batting in the middle, and a backing.
- You will sign your quilt with your Real Name and your Swap Bot name on the front of the Block/Quiltie - you can embroider, use fabric pen, whatever you choose to use, just make sure your name is on it!
- You will sew around the edge of the Block/Quiltie - however it should be just a simple stitch around the outer edge - approx. 1/4" (so that your partner can finish it however they wish).
- ONE (1) partner = ONE (1) Block/Quiltie.
- Yes, it will possibly be International.
