Thanx! :)
HS> MQBE is short for Mini Quilt Block Exchange.. basically, anyone who
HS> wants to play will make a block for that month's winner; then on the
HS> first of next month, a new winner will be drawn from those names (those
HS> who sent in blocks previously.) The M is to distinguish this from the
HS> QBE, which is an identical 12.5 inch block exchange. The mini blocks
HS> for this one are 6.5 inch size.
Kewl! Too funny... I've ALWAYS thought it would be fun to make a quilt
even tho I hated sewing (until recently when my MIL "made" me use her
serger and I liked it so much my family bought one for me! now I enjoy
sewing!). I've met a few people along the way who have made some of the
most beautiful quilts and I really wanted to try myself. My MIL asked me
about a week ago if I had ever made a quilt. Maybe this would a great
way to get started! :)
HS> The rules for both exchanges are posted every now and then by the
HS> person who started the whole thing.. I don't have a copy handy or
HS> I'd repost them for you.
Ok, I'll keep an eye out for it! :)
