There are 12 participants in a swap I'm coordinating. Quantities are geared towards making Bonnie Hunter's Talkin' Turkey! design. In the coming months you'll see more on this swap. Instructions and timelines were just sent out this week. To help better explain the cutting if you decide on the 11" red string block cutting I've taken some pictures. Also see in the last picture the Nine-Patch color arrangement as well as what pieces are to be put into individual kits.

I like your idea for sewing and cutting the red string blocks. I also plan to make the "Talkin Turkey" quilt.
Hugs,
Great way to get those 5 1/2" string blocks. I'd like to do it, but right now I'm still not finished with Easy Street.
Very striking photos, love the red. I have a whole lot of reds to choose from waiting for you. It will be soon....
Tell your Mom HI for all of ud SD swappers. We will catch her on the next swap. Enjoy your visit!
