I regularly host block swaps based on the Tell Me A Story quilt from my first book, Intentional Piecing. Fabrics for each block are chosen to tell a story. The result is a whimsical, fussy cut quilt that’s so much fun to sew.

These swaps are run periodically throughout the year. I announce each swap here on my blog, my Facebook page, Instagram, and my newsletter. I even have a segment of my newsletter just for TMAS Fans. If you want to join that segment to get extra reminders about swaps, sign up for my newsletter using this special link.
Sometimes the swaps have no theme, other times they are based on a theme like Halloween, Christmas/Hanukkah/Winter, cats, gardening, farm animals, etc.
This swap has taken on a life of it’s own and I am so happy to have built a community of swappers worldwide. Click on the image below to use the interactive map to see how many swappers have participated in the swap from various countries and states. Maybe you can be the first from your region!
This map functions best from a computer where you can hover with your mouse. If you are on your phone, turn it sideways to fit the map best. If you are on an Android, you can press down on the state/area to see the number of participants. If you are on an iPhone, it isn’t a smooth interaction, try your computer!
Feel free to join in at any time and use the hashtags #intentionalpiecingbook and #tellmeastoryquilt. Tag me @duringquiettime to make sure I see! I’d love to compliment you on your blocks.
