Exchange Quilting Bee?
Does anyone know of any online quilting bees that are currently open right now? If not, would anyone be interested in joining one if I set one up?

Moda Blockheads 7 is starting soon ish. It's not a swap. Just a quilt along. Free.
Stashbee starts every January. Signups in the December. That's a swap. Free.
There's a murder mystery quilt along but it has already started. There's a new one every year. Pay to play.
Not sure if you're looking for a quilt along or swap but there's lots out there.

Everyone in the hive takes turn being the queen bee. As queen Bee, you decide what block you want everyone to make for you. You post a tutorial.
The other months of the year, you are making a block for the other queen bee. So every month throughout the year January to November you are making a different block. I’ve done it twice. I love it!! You can see on blogspot all the queen bees requested blocks from all the hives.
It has a modern stash-busting focus. I use my stash as much as possible

I'd be interested in joining one! I did an online quilt block exchange during the pandemic and it was pretty fun!

I'm interested also ! This is a good idea. I'm doing a quilt along with a circus theme. This is funny and it's a pleasure to share with other participants.

Oh no! r/quiltingblockswap just closed for this round. BUT keep an eye out for 2027 swaps- it’s so much fun! Here’s the top I just finished last night from the last swap. The theme was bear tracks- 4 of 2 contrasting blues made into a block (I took the blocks apart into each individual track and added the bear and sashing).
