INTERNATIONAL since the postage will be fairly small on this one:))

Ok folks.....this one's gonna be a little different, lol.

You will have up to 5 partners depending on how many folks we have sign up. You will send 40 1.5" x 1.5" postage stamp fabric squares to each partner. I know that sounds like alot, but it takes ALOT of these tiny squares to make a postage stamp quilt and they are very quick and easy to cut. These little squares are also great for those crafters that enjoy making inchies.....so if you like collecting all kinds of small bits of fabric for any type of crafting you're more than welcome to join in the fun:)))

Please send no more than two squares of the same fabric to each partner. In other words.....you can send 20 sets of 2. Also, the best way to accurately cut the squares is with a rotary cutter. Please be sure and measure accurately when cutting the squares and make sure they are nicely cut.

The fabric must be 100% cotton, and can be novelty, print, solid, tonal, floral, etc.

Swappers must have a rating of 4.8 to participate. Newbies are welcome with a fully filled out profile. If you flake on this swap you will be reported and forever banned from joining any of my swaps in the future.

If you have any questions please ask before you sign up.

I am trying this swap out and if this round goes well I am considering making this a monthly swap with a different theme for each month. So ya'll let me know what ya think.....OK???

So, these are quilted, not just fabric pieces?

bettflow09 06/10/2008 #

Oh no cerwinrhiannon....these are just little 1.5" x 1.5" fabric pieces. Not pieced quilt squares.

I am so in. I've just started collecting squares for my postage stamp quilt.

I'm in ! If you go to my Flickr site (via my profile) I have a "I made this" set and on the front is a photo of a wallhanging I made with 1 inch squares. It is 2 tone tans from light on the top, to darker on the bottom. But in the center I used all sorts of reds/pinks/burgundy colors to make a heart shape that i heavily embellished. This one is in my living room, and will NOT be sold or going any where until I am no longer around.

I would love to make a "watercolor" type wallhanging out of these squares and others I plan to collect. I think a bed size quilt would be just toooo much for me with this size pieces...

Wondering what others plan to do with theirs of this size?

As a Quilter, I have a BOX of these tiny squares. I made a dolls quilt out of squares this size (sorry, no pic) I will have something to do at night while watching TV... Pull little squares out and get them ready !!!! Thanks for this swap..

Oh wow FingersInc...you are one talented lady:)) You have made so many beautiful things!!! I am brand new to quilting and yet to sew my first stitch. Just now collecting squares all sizes. Hopefully will get brave enough and find the time to get starting doing some stitching, lol. Do you mostly handstitch or machine stitch?

Hi all I need a lots of little of squares

aspenwall 06/25/2008 #

Do these have to be pre-washed?

aspenwall 07/11/2008 #

Well, I ended up pre-washing mine. Also, is anyone going to be posting pictures? Should I? How does that work here?

bettflow09 07/29/2008 #

aspenwall....some members here post pics of their swaps items in their flicker account. I have not done this, but plan on setting an account up with Flicker shortly. It's not a requirement that pictures be posted though. That's entirely up to each individual. I personally have not been posting pics of my swaps....but need to do something about that, lol. Hugs, Betty

Hello swappers,

Hope everyone's enjoying this swap:)) I see that several members have not gotten their squares mailed yet, and thought I would help everyone out a little bit. I have extended the deadline to have your squares mailed to Aug 15. But, if your squares are not mailed by that date, you will risk the chance of receiving negative feedback from your partner. Happy cutting and hope everyone's having a great week!!! Hugs, Betty
