I was wondering if there would be any interest in an I Spy Charm Square swap? If we could get 30-40 participants, we'd have quite a few different prints (90 or 120) to use in I Spy quilts or other projects.

Here are some rough details.

Purchase (or raid your stash) three different I Spy fabrics (a yard should do it depending on how many participants we have). Cut 40 (forty) 5 inch squares out of each of the three different fabrics. The 40 is just if we have 40 participants. If we have 30 swappers, you would cut 30 squares.

You will mail the squares to me and include an envelope with stamps on it to be mailed back to you. I'll sort all the squares and send them back to you. If you are overseas, I can accept PayPal payments for return postage.

If you think you would be interested can you respond to this thread or PM me?

I sent you a PM!! :D

What a great idea. I would do it

what is considered I Spy fabric?

I Spy fabric is a novelty print with an all over design of something graphic. Like foods, animals, objects, etc. I Spy quilts are popular for babies and children as they can point out (or find) specific items.

Some prints that come to mind: strawberries, cherries, cats, dogs, zoo animals, noodles (yep, I have noodle fabric!), shoes, cupcakes, etc.

Can anyone else elaborate on novelty prints?

All right! I have lots of that, count me in.

What a great idea. Count me in, too.

count me in.....what a great way to share...and gain ;) fabric!!!

That is a great Idea. you can count me in. I will give them to my sister for Christmas as she is collecting to make a quilt for her first grandchild.
