Had to order some fabric (darn!), but I'm in!

My 6 sets will be: watermelons, fried chicken, grilled cheese sandwiches, M&M-like candies, chili peppers, snack mix (like Chex mix), and corn on the cob.

(Yep, there are 7 listed, because the fried chicken is kind of a large print, so I'm not 100% sure if it'll be usable. I bought an extra for backup.)

I'll have to let you know on the twist. I know I have enough for 4 sets, but I'm hoping to come up with 6.

And the birdies FQ only gave me 12 full size. (I hadn't bought it with a swap in mind, thus the FQ purchase.)

So anyone who gets a full size birdie will get an extra 2.5" birdhouse as a bonus, and full size birdhouse swappers will get a bonus 2.5" birdie. Here are the other twist fabrics. I love the birthday cakes!

Okay, PeginCO, clearly we are sharing a brain when it comes to fabric choices. Not only did you beat me to the raccoons in Frizzymama's swap on Flickr, but now you have the birthday cakes I bought! :-)

I wanted to double-check this also. The theme is anything food, plus any type of bug?

Oh no! I'm sorry! Do you want to do the birthday cakes and I can use my tiny spools fabric? I can definitely use the birthday cakes for something else. (The fabrics I pictured are for the twist...so not necessarily bugs or picnic food, I think...just mini scale.) Really, I am fine with that. Just let me know.

Nope, you beat me to it, fair and square! Besides, I like them enough to save them for another project. They're just so cute!!

Lots of insects/bugs and food. What would you put in your picnic basket? So put your thinking caps on. Ask if you have questions.

It's under number three! Thanks

5. **Now for the twist**.
This is for those tiny prints on fabric. So the ones who would like to cut them to 2 1/2 " charms they can without losing the print. Any children's print. Please no lines, dots, flowers or things that you wouldn't want in a child's quilts please.

Okay these are actually 5" charms for the twist. * ( So the ones who would like to cut them to 2 1/2 " charms they can without losing the print.)* I just put this here because some might want to cut there 5" into 2 1/2 " charms. I'm sorry for the confusion. If you cut them already send them in I'll trade them out. Did everyone think they are 2 1/2 inch charms? If so and you cut them already we can leave it at that.
