Or, instead of having a themed swap, we could focus on a color. Like, please try to send in one green background fabric. I'm having a hard time finding reds and greens these days.

i think I follow you. Another way to do the same thing is to:
1) set out your six sets 2) take one from each pile and place them on top of each other in a uniform square 3) turn the pile to make it a diamond 4) begin again, setting your six as a square on top the previous diamond 5) repeat This way, all you have to do it pick up six at a time to swap them and we don't use crazy amounts of baggies. But if baggies are truly easier, I'm good with that, too. |

Yes we could do this too. Like for the twist do solids, polka dots, swirls. Something in this manner. See we all have ideas. :)

Sorry Owlie, I will have to wait till next month to join you again. I really don't have any fabrics at home that fit the theme. But, I will keep an eye here for next months. I am cutting some other things I already have on hand.

That will be wonderful Judith. Remember its anything you would take on a picnic. It can be food, to games, dogs. i think its endless for we all take something different on a picnic.

frizzymama please pm me all the details and will seriously think about this one. i agree the results are beautiful. i think we need it bigger though. i usually use at least 80 charms in a quilt if not more. thanks
