This is similar to the look I'm going for with the exception of a fussy cut center for the economy blocks.

Pillow Cover Swap

Here are the sign ups for the Pillow Cover Swap, due at the July meeting! (7/28)

Before you sign up please read this post carefully and also read the general swap rules HERE.

This swap is for a pillow cover only. There will be no extras, including the actual pillow form. You will be required to make a pillow cover in one of the following sizes/shapes:

• Square (12x12, 14x14 or 16x16)
• Rectangular (12x16 or 12x18)
• Round (12 or 14 diameter)

While I will make every effort to partner you with someone who wants the same pillow shape that you want to make, I can't guarantee that it will happen- so please make sure you make the shape/size pillow that your partner prefers! Also, please read your partner's likes/dislikes carefully and make something tailored specifically to them.

Sign ups will be open until 5/13, and partner assignments will go out between 5/14 and 5/15. This gives you over two months to create the perfect pillow for your partner!

Don't forget to share sneak peeks and/or your finished project on Instagram, under the hashtag #cbusmqswap.

I like them all. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them as long as they match my color scheme.

Will you be providing fabric? 
No

Directions 
- Make sure the background is a low volume light gray or off white. 

- Use a navy for the center of the star. 

- The points can be improvisational...they don't have to be striped...they just have to be scrappy.

- Don't use solids.

- Don't piece the final four blocks together.

- Keep the paper on the back.
