Description:
I'm feeling FUNKY lately, so I had an idea to do a swap with a funky color combo. Colors (ONLY THESE): Greens/Olives, Aquas/Teals, Pinks, Oranges & Browns Requirements: 2 yards total, MINIMUM 5 different fabrics, smallest size: fat quarters (18x22") For example, you can send 4 different fat quarters and 1 yard of fabric. OR 8 fat quarters. OR maybe you want to send 6 fat quarters and a 1/2 yard of fabric. Your choice. Minimum 5 different fabrics, 2 yards total. Optional: You are welcome to send extras like ribbons/trims, buttons to match or maybe a little handmade pincushion or bookmark, etc... Not required, but always fun to do! Make sure to post with types of fabrics you regularly use (ie: cottons, quilting fabs, wool felts, etc...) and then check out your partners list for ideas of what to send. This is an international swap, so please be aware you may be required to ship outside your country.

Favorites: I love cotton small prints for quilting, funky older 60's fabrics, wool felt and fabrics I can use to make tote bags, small toys and pillows. I love all these colors, but olives, aquas & oranges are my favs lately.

I love heavy cotton fabric with a nice, roughish texture. I particularly love retro, funky 60's/ early 70's fabrics, reminiscent of a funky retro kitchen. LOVE any Marimekko swatches!

I like cotton fabrics the best, but any interesting fabrics are fine.

I didn't know this so I thought I would post it just in case others were wondering too. :)

A FAT QUARTER is a cut piece of fabric which is made by cutting a half yard in half again vertically. The piece is therefore approximately 18" x 22".
