Even though we don't allow JoAnn store brand fabric. You can still occasionally find some quality nane brand fabrics there. Don't be discouraged. I saw some great Heather Ross FQ bundels last week.

I get lots of questions about why I chose 6" charms. I created the swap with 6" charms because it gets everyone involved a little more. If you have to pick fabrics and cut them rather than throwing 5" precuts together the package will be more meaningfull. Put some thought into this folks!
