There will be a maximum of six that can be submitted BEFORE the required three for your finished quilt. Post six pictures of your progress, get six chances to win! :)

You can email me the photo in .JPEG format only to 2013hexagonswap@gmail.com and I will reduce it and post it for you.

Please email me at 2013hexagonswap@gmail.com which quilt pattern you will be making, along with your name, address, phone and email address. All information sent to me is confidential and will not be shared.

So, are you in? I will post names and quilt patterns on the right side of the blog along with photos. Hope you join in this fun event!
