i would like teal, black, brown maybe a touch of gold

jzzyblu 02/ 5/2011 #

I would join but don't want to end up purchasing fabric each month that I won't use again. Some colors are hard to find.

Thanks for hosting this. I was waiting for it to start again in the Nuts for Sewing Group but it wasn't happening.

theirmimi 02/ 5/2011 #

I've noticed that on some swaps it says not to use fabric from Michael's, Walmart or Joann's. Are there any rules on where to get your fabric for these blocks?

PATHACKER 02/ 6/2011 #

I've never been in any of those swaps, as far as I know all fabric should be ok just make sure its a good fabric.

PATHACKER 02/ 6/2011 #

And @jzzyblu most are not specifying colors and as far as mine goes thats just what I would like to have, but happy with anything

TraySeeH 02/10/2011 #

I love orange, but you can send any color (don't like purple or gold little print with these colors are fine.

@theirmimi Joanne's fat quarters and most of their fabrics are 100% cotton. I didn't join the swaps that didn't allow Joanne's because that's all we have.

I like blue best. Burgundy/ maroon is secound. This my first time.

Yvonnee 02/12/2011 #

Is the finished cut square really 12x12 or 12 1/2 x12 1/2?

fabricmom 02/12/2011 #

Finished refers to when it is sewn together with other blocks. The block should measure 12 1/2 inches square when you send it to your partner.

PATHACKER 02/13/2011 #

thanks so much ladies for answering that question...i don't get to check my swaps everyday and that helps a bunch

MichelleK 02/16/2011 #

I love blues, purples, pinks, but will be happy with anything

MichelleK 02/16/2011 #

ooh love green too

mamamonkey 02/17/2011 #

I'd like any bright colors. I want mine to be scrappy so my partners don't have to worry about matching other peoples color choices. So...the more fun bright colors and prints, the better! :)
