Winter White Block Exchange


(12 participants have now been found)
The snow continues to fall all around us here in Calgary, Alberta.
 I don't mind the snow (I just don't like the frigid temperatures that often come with it here).
 
 
Its actually beautiful, covering up the dead, brown grass and mucky, dirty streets.  I know some of you have never even experienced snow! Let's just say it is a big part of being Canadian!

I got to thinking the other day, wouldn't it be nice to have a quilt made with snowy white or white on white fabrics.  Something that is truly wintery, not Christmasy. The quilt can stay out on display well past the holiday season.

Would you like to join me? 

  I am going to host a block exchange 
Looking for 12 participants to join in
 
 Guidelines:

Who: anyone residing in North America (sorry International friends, postage just gets too high)
Fabric requirements: white, white on white, winter white and one other colour of your choice (keeping in mind the winter, snow theme, think icey blue)
Blocks: make 12 identical blocks 9.5" (finished size would be 9")
Exchanging:  send them to me by January 20th. I will then redistribute them to all the participants. My address to be emailed individually later.
Finishing:  How you use your blocks is up to you. I.e. Quilt, table runners, wall hanging. When you put it all together is also up to you.
Button: post my button on your sidebar (it is my first time making a button, hope it works)

P.S. this is my first time doing a block exchange. If I have forgotten anything let me know.
