Fabric Fat Quarter Request Line R11

03-10-11 thru 04-15-11

The request line is once again open, so please post your request as a comment below.

(Fat Quarter = a 18”X21-22” cut of 100% cotton fabric)

In this swap you will have two partners and send each partner 2 Fat Quarters of 100% cotton fabric. Please no recycled fabric, you should send new purchased FQ’s or you can cut the FQ’s from your stash of 100% cotton fabric. Cut as accurately as possible, so as not to cut less than 18”X21-22”. Larger cuts are welcome, but not less than 18”X21-22”. Be sure to list below your choice of color print, and try not to be too specific in order to make it easier for partners to meet your request.

I will Angel this swap, but will publicize if you flake.

Newbies are welcome with a completed profile, 5 snail-mail swaps under their belts, and at least a 4.9 rating. Yep, I check profiles before letting the computer assign the partners.

Questions, or concerns are welcome, just PM me.

Enjoy!

I would love purple print or aqua/teal/turquoise prints.

I would LOVE Amy Butler bright color prints---pink, blue, green, etc. That is probably not practical, so I guess I would love any bright color prints, but please not flowers. I have soooo many flowers. Thanks!!!!

i would love orange or yellow, but please no combination of these

I would love either pale colours, batiks or bright pinks or blues. Failing that, have a look at my profile and surprise me. I'm easy to please!

Help me out here, please? I might, no , probably am being dumb but why 18"x21"? If you have a square yard of fabric that's 36"x36". Yes? So if you cut it into quarters then the 4 pieces will be 16"x16". Is that right? I am thinking of buying some fat quarters to have for future possible swaps and I'd hate to get the wrong thing.

I would love paisleys, polka dots or batiks. If you can't do those, than I love surprises!

Gofeen, fat quarters are not exact quarters of yards. Thus the name 'Fat' quarters. I know I was so confused also.

Usually in the USA we get fabric on the bolt, that measures something by 44 inches. So the fat quarter is really half of the 44 inches,, thus cut in half tall wise and 18 inches lengthwise. That is why they are called Fat quarters.

I usually by fabric for my quilting by the half yard, so this would be an easy swap for me, if I were to join it. Because the cut I would need to do, would be on the fold of the fabric, as it comes off the bolt.

Purples please, nothing too muddy or dark.

Gofeen 03/ 2/2011 #

Ah! That explians it. I'm in U.K. and out far quarters are always 18x18" ie. 1/4 of a yard. Our fabric was always cut from a roll one yard wide A yard is 36 " - hence 18"x18" ( I know I put 16 above but that was a mistake) However nowadays it is sold by the metre so for fat quarters we get 1/4 of a metre now which is roughly 18"x18". I'm glad I saw this swap before signing up for one because my partner would have been dissapointed as my fat quarter wouldn't match the rest of her fat quarters. Thank you for explaining it to me @fawnscrafts I quess I should steer away from these swaps unless it's a Europe only swap.

perkl8r 03/ 3/2011 #

Yes, thank you so much fawnscrafts for your help here!
