Here is the info page for Facebook Quilt Block Party:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/apps/application.php?id=24021749094&ref=s

From there you can find out more about Quilt Block Party, add the application to your profile, become a fan, or find out where you can get free patterns for some of the blocks.

The Quilt Block Party link is: http://apps.facebook.com/quilt_ydnqmga
That's where you do the actual sending from.

Check it out!

Hi Vireya,

You can send the quilt block to someone who doesn't have the application and they would receive a notice/message telling them that you sent a quilt block. They would have to decide if they want Quilt Block Party or not. If they choose to install the application on their page then they will get to see the quilt block you sent and your message, if you included one. If they do not want the application, then there is no way for the application to access their profile and display the quilt block.

While this seems to be a bother that you can't just send quilt blocks to any friend you wish, it is actually a good thing. If there were no safety checks like this then people could conceivably create malicious applications that would simply install themselves into peoples' profiles without permission, steal information, delete legitimate stuff, post things you may not want on your page, and cause all sorts of problems. This way, both users and legitimate applications are protected.

Try sending quilt blocks to a few friends and some of them will likely install the application and some won't. You can also use Quilt Block Party to send invitations to install the app or even just a direct personal message through Facebook to peoples' inboxes telling them you think they might like it.

Hope this helps!

Hi, Laura,

Can I send a block to someone who doesn't have the application? Would they see it or not? I'm very new to Facebook, so I really don't know how it all works yet.

At the moment only one of my Facebook friends has Quilt Block Party, so I haven't tried sending a block to anyone else.

Thanks,
Vireya

Hope that those of you who tried Quilt Block Party are enjoying it! I'm working on getting together free quilt block patterns and lots of other fun stuff for quilters, as well as a redesign to get rid of some of those annoying quizzes and stuff (although sorry, I can't rid the rest of Facebook from those quizzes, just Quilt Block Party). I'll be sure to announce when the redesign launches. ^_^

Facebook isn't for everyone, but its useful to quite a lot of people. Regardless, it's always a smart thing to be careful what you post about yourself anywhere on the internet.

I have just been listening to a radio programme about the disadvantages of all the information that identity fraudsters can get from Facebook. Guess this is one I will give a miss

I have facebook. I have some pictures of quilts on there and like to play games. I will check out that block site. thanks
