This quilting bee will be for 12 people for 12 months, with everyone quilting for 1 person a month.
Each person will be assigned (or sign-up for) a specific month. The month before that person will bring her 12 fabric packets that she has selected and cut to the meeting to hand out to everyone. If she misses that meeting she will need to ship out her fabric packets. The following month her quilt blocks and extra fabric will be returned to her and the next person will give out their fabric packets.
In each fabric packet there should be at least 3/8 yard total of a minimum of 3 different fabrics. This should be sufficient for a 12.5 inch unfinished block, with leeway for various patterns. Also include your name and any instructions you might have for your fellow quilters--such as if you prefer a particular type/size of block. If you are ok with people making extra blocks for you or if you want to allow them to keep a small bit of your fabric for a postage stamp quilt, please also include that type of information.
Everyone who wants to participate in this bee will be added to this blog so they can make their own posts. Just let me know in the comments that you want to participate (and I need your email address to add you, please put that info if it is not accessible from your signature/blog link). That way when it is your month you can leave a copy of your note that you include with your fabric here and we can post the blocks we make as we go along.
