It's that time again!!
THE BASICS:
Mail 200 I-Spy squares to me by August 9th.
Mail 200 I-Spy squares to me by August 9th.
Get 200 I-Spy squares back, all different, by August 19th.
I know this is a tight schedule, but recent experience has shown that swaps with tighter schedules are more successful... so this one will have a fairly tight schedule too.
PLEASE be sure you can meet the deadlines BEFORE you sign up!
PLEASE be sure you can meet the deadlines BEFORE you sign up!
THE DETAILS:
1. The first 36 people to comment are in. [If you live outside the U.S., no problem -- but please mail your fabrics a little earlier so there's plenty of time to meet the deadline!]
2. Cut 20 4" squares out of each of 10 different novelty print fabrics. A 1/4-yard cut or fat quarter will get you 20 4" squares, so you will be purchasing a total of about 2 1/2 yards of fabric. This is NOTHING when you think about all the different squares you will be getting back!
3. In order to avoid duplicates, everyone will need to search out unusual or obscure prints. Look for things that aren't available at chain stores. But, please, pick FUN ones! If you love it, the other swappers will love it too!
4. Remember that we are looking for fabric with objects on it, not printy-prints. (A fabric with FLOWERS on it is very different from a FLORAL PRINT.)
5. No "licensed" prints: No Disney, Dora, L.A. Lakers, etc.
6. Remember seam allowances! Be sure you can tell what you are looking at within a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square. Nobody wants only half of an object in their square -- cut them well! (Depending on your fabric choice, you may need to buy more than 1/4 yard in order to get an object into each cut square.)

Me too!! Jlthaye{at}gmail{dot}com
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fun...but where do you suggest we get non chain store fabrics from? Love to have suggestions before I commit!
ReplyDeleteAnd should we prewash fabric before we cut? As that's what I do and I would love the same back to me! Though no biggie.

I have been a good swapper in the past I hope that I make the cut. I really need more girly, candy and buggy ones for something I am trying to do for my nephews (and daughter hence the girly ones)
