What's acceptable for black white 4-patch swap due 10-31-10

I know there have been several people who asked - what do I mean by the sub catagory for ROUND 2 when we swap Scrappy 4-patch blocks agian in the fall... do I mean fabrics that are black and white?

no. I actually vision 4 patch blocks that are made up using white on white fabrics (WOW) and then the black part of the 4 patch, to use a BLACK fabric. I prefer them to have some small tonal designs on them...

So for the visual people who need examples take a look. The top row are fabrics that I'm looking for in the black/white 4 patch swap if you'd like to participate. Those paired up with any WOW fabrics to make your blocks.

Thanks for the questions - you guys keep me on my toes :) I hope the photo you can click on to see larger to see that there are some print designs on those blacks at the top...

Also I would very much like for the same matching blacks to be used within the same unit. So a total of 10 identical blocks like the one above would = 1 set. Limit 10 sets per swapper. Hope this helps.

NOTE: my above example was used with paint software - the WOW tonal fabric doesn't show up very well... please use a WOW. thanks.

Hey Kelly @ IHAN - Aren't you proud of me for not opening my EQ6 software that has been here for right at a month now... I'm being very patient for my birthday to roll around before I open it... only 6 more days :)

Love from Texas!

  3. Bonnie,
    As usual I feel compelled to join in the black/WOW 4-patch swap.
    I went to the HGTV site and found the thread for July's swap but not for the BLK/WOW.
    Anyway....count me in. I have an extensive collection of these fabrics.

  4. I've never done a swap but this is definitely one I'd love to participate in! I just ordered a few black fabrics to make just these blocks for myself. Getting some variety would be awesome! Please point me in the right direction!
