I've been dying to do another swap before December so everyone can use the squares to make Christmas gifts... and I want to be sure lots of people can participate, so we'll try again for another double swap!*
This swap is going to have a pretty tight schedule, so PLEASE be sure you can meet the deadlines BEFORE you sign up!
THE BASICS:
Mail 200 I-Spy squares to me by November 10th.
Mail 200 I-Spy squares to me by November 10th.
Get 200 I-Spy squares back, all different, by November 24th.
I know this is a tight schedule, but I want everyone to have plenty of time to use their squares for Christmas presents!
THE DETAILS:
1. The first 34 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.)
If you want to join me in this obsession, leave a comment here that
