Description:

Ok, so I am making a postage stamp quilt and I really want it to be all different fabrics.

So the mission if you choose to accept it is to swap 2.5 squares of fabric!

The downlow and dirty mumbo jumbo:

  1. You have one partner (I know I want more partners, but as this is my first time hosting a swap of this type, I want to take this slow!)

  2. You will swap at least 2.5 inch squares of fabric (I know I measure mine as they come in and I recommend you do too! Yes I will rate a three if you send smaller than 2.5 square! And I expect you to do the same. Larger is ok if you are fearful of skimping your partner.)

  3. You will send 49 DIFFERENT fabrics! Not just 49 fabric squares,they must be different! (I count as they come in, and recommend you do too!)

Things you are not expected to do:

I know that it has become popular to swap these little squares, if you happen to get a partner you have had before, you a not expected to find different fabrics this time.

As always, I will ban with impunity! (Ok, perhaps not impunity, but I think you will cause issues, you are out!)

Thank you for mentioning the size requirement. It's irksome when you get squares that are just cut all wonky and will not even out (and end up in the scrap bin).

I'm watching this for now.

@jlverde That is why I brought it up. I am making mine wonky, but it is still not right that you mail out a pack that is actually 2.5 square and get back a pack that is 2.5 by 2.25...

Ok since someone asked me. I changed the swap a little bit. I am allowing too big but not too small. Err or too large. Not on too small.

okay... I bought a couple of charm packs so I know I will have enough different this time ;-)

I am glad you could join! I just keep buying remnants and stuff for the ispy swap I am hosting. I challenge you to joint that too! You have until May to find fabric and then you get a great mix. Added bonus it is 10 inches by 10 inchs so you get 16 squares of 2.5 fabric if you cut it up for these swaps!
