Anyhoooo, a fat eighth is half of a fat quarter. It measures 9" x 22". Types of fabric to send - any so long as it 1) is not see-thru thin, 2) has no stains, blemishes, or boo-boo's of any kind, and 3) is freshly laundered with no odors.

For this swap, each person will have 2 partners and send 2 fat eighths to both of them for a total of 4 fat eighths.

Now for the bla-bla part. Only those will at least a 4.9 rating is accepted. Would like at least 5 type 3 swaps completed and rated - we ALL have to start somewhere! No recent unexplained or unfixed 1's or 3's.

If I understand this right, you're allowing fabric other than quilting cotton which would include fleece, flannel, upholstery, silk, linen and etc.? I love the idea of this swap, need the scraps for the string block swaps, but cotton is the only fabric used for the quilt blocks.

@1leemeadows yes, for this swap it's any type of fabric. I've done several sting block (on light cotton backing), crazy blocks, and many appliquéd blocks from random, not just cotton, fabrics. But I completely understand those that prefer 100% cotton fabric. I will be hosting some of those in the future as well. I'm doing this one to help promo my group Upcycle Me which is why it's any fabric.
