and then there were details.

okay so it's looking like yall want to join in on my virtual quilting bee!!!

that's awesome!!!

just keep in mind that nothing is set in stone yet.

and that this is my 1st go around with hosting my own bee.

so please be patient with me.

now for some details:

most virtual quilting bees average around 12-24 people.

at this time i have NO clue how many will be in this bee.

{i quite honestly already have enough people to run a few bees. WOW.}

the basic outline is this:

everyone in the swap will be assigned a month.

when it's your month, you will send out a packet of fabrics to each of the other quilters.

{enough to make one block.}

these packets should be from a set of fabrics that you want a quilt made out of.

you can state any preferences {likes/dislikes} that you want for your block.

edit: i should clarify on 'you can state any preferences'...

my goal here is to run a bee that is beginner friendly.

i don't want anyone to feel intimidated or like they are out of their league.

so if you want 15 paper pieced blocks...this is SO not the bee for you my friend.

:O)

during your month, everyone else will make you a block and send it back to you.

then you will have enough blocks to make a quilt.

for all other months of the swap:

you will receive one person's fabric and make a single block.

then you will send it back to that person.

so you're only sending fabrics when it's your month.

and one block per month is a pretty small time commitment.

depending on the group size we might be making 2 blocks a month for some months.

{this would be if there are between 13-18 people in this bee.}

oh and everyone is responsible for their own postage!!!

so now that yall have some details...your thoughts???

p.s. to see some other bees in action...
