STRIPPING YOUR SASH - ANNOUNCEMENT ON PG 1. SIGNUP BY 30 MAR 2010
#1
so, we had a good time with our b&w block swap. And now I'm on a mission to reduce stash significantly. So- who's up to a swap of:
2 1/2" strips- often called noodles.
length is from selvage to selvage (please include the selvages). most fabric is now 40" to 42" selvage to selvage.
1 set is 40 noodles.
Can be any color- the more colors/prints, etc. the better. Make 1 of each color per set. (40 different colors will make a really scrappy quilt)
You can use these for lots of strip quilts. One is strip twist from quiltville.com. I also have a book- can of worms and there's a can of worms 2. Many many different uses.
So who's in? Once we get the interest level- we can decide on dates for sign up, receipt, etc.
Thanks!
Barb

so how about a maximum of 4 of each color in a set of 40? Would that help people?
I'm cutting a top right now and as I do each color I am cutting 2 strips for 2 sets. they are washed.
