I'm feeling a little low on I-Spy squares after completing quilt tops for each of my boys.
Need... more... I-SPY....
Hot on the heels of
I-Spy Swap the Third -- which in my opinion has been by far THE best swap yet -- it is time for YET ANOTHER SWAP!
How much I-Spy is TOO much?
NO SUCH THING!!
I am going to go out on a limb here and try for a DOUBLE SWAP. There has been TONS of interest in I-Spy Swaps, but after sending a huge list of interested people over to another swap, I am curious if there is enough interest out there to get my double swap done...
Let's give it a try!!
THE BASICS:
Mail 200 I-Spy squares to me by June 30th.
Get 200 I-Spy squares back, all different, by July 15th.
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.)
If you want to join me in this obsession, leave a comment here that
includes your email address!!
Remember: The FIRST 36 who comment are IN!
(IF by chance we don't make it to the full double swap,
we'll do a single swap with the first 18 and save the rest
of the swappers for the next swap.)
SERIOUS SWAPPERS ONLY...
