Hi! This sounds like such a fun swap! One quick question, what does FQ mean/stand for?

dmarie 04/21/2014 #

FQ = fat quarter

A piece of cotton measuring 18" x 22" inches is what is generally referred to by the term Fat Quarter.

I'm watching at the moment, but I have a couple questions:

  1. Can the bag he hand made but not sewn, e.g. crocheted or knitted?
  2. Or, alternatively, if, say, I received a very lovely handmade sewn bag in a recent TiaZ Metabaggie swap, could I use that one?

Thanks!

@MorahLaura

The answers are yes to both

Crocheted or knitted

and ok to one made by someone else
