Description:
I just received my swap from a recent fat quarter swap and it was so much fun I decided to run one of my own. This swap is for a 'coordinated' fat quarter selection. Each participant is to send four fat quarters which coordinate in some way, be it colour, fabric style, print style etc. The idea is that each participant will receive four fat quarters which match in some way so that they can use them all in the same project. So you get 2 swap partners. You send each partner four coordinating fat quarters. I am giving plenty of time for this swap since it is my first swap. And this is an international swap. You need a rating of 5 for this swap as I would hate for anyone to miss out. That's it, email me if you have any questions. Have fun!

Is this for cotton FQ's only?

Kelli 06/19/2007 #

No, I think it would be nice to have a surprize so I thought I would leave it open. Just keep in mind the size of a fat quarter might be useless in some fabrics. Use common sense and send something you would like to receive.

Thankyou everyone who has joined this swap so far. Since I am new at this I don't mind being bossed around or told what to do so if you have any suggestions or think I am doing something wrong, than feel free to let me know.

This is right up my alley. I love to make quilts and have sold quite a few at bazaars and the like. Mostly by word of mouth, though. And I LOOOOOOVE fat quarters. Thanks for this kind of swap.

Thanks Betty, I hope you get a few good ones for your quilts!

I just want to let everyone know I am still hovering around checking my swap. Eleven people so far. That is good I hope!

I use 4-FQs to make purses this will be perfect...I can't wait to start swapping.

Kelli thanks for hosting this one...if you do it again let me know :o)

What a great idea Invisible. I need some library bags!!! Maybe I'll make library bags out of mine!!!

Perhaps after we swap we can share photos later on, and show off our cleverness!

Hello everyone,

I came online today to sign partners for this swap but there is no option for me to do it, I assume it is because it is not the 15th in the USA yet. So I'll come back tomorrow and see how it goes then.

Thanks for getting our partners to us so quickly...today I had to go to my quilt store and the post office...so I sent my packages. :o)

Wow that's fast. The hardest part for me is choosing. I am really terrible at making decisions and will stand there for hours trying to decide.

Nina in Norway and filoselle - your packages are on the way. Hopefully it won't take too long!

Just dropped off at the PO - packages for girlonaglide & Knitting Cateling.

To whoever gave me a star THANKYOU SO MUCH!

To my swap partners, shopandbid and Betty Bagwell, I am off to the shops later today and should have your fat quarters in the mail next week. Don't forget they have to come from Australia and will take a week or so in the mail!
