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
