Start collecting strings to participate in this swap! You will need a good amount of strings or strips of fabric. If you don't have strings you can cut your own strips (1" - 1.5" strips work well).These blocks are a great way to use up all sorts of scrap fabric.

Fabric should be clean and new of good quality when it is sewn into the crumb block. It is SENDERS CHOICE for the colors. If using scraps to make your blocks please make sure they are new scraps and not "attic fresh" or musty smelling. Measure your blocks before sending them and make sure they measure 8.5" square.

Love too but loose interest after doing 8 blocks. Maybe next time.

@ladydy5 - I updated the swap requirements to only need 8 blocks for swapping. 2 for each partner. Hopefully that encourages more folks to signup!
