Our guild is making quilts for returning military personnel of our county who have been deployed overseas. We are using 100% cotton quilt shop quality fabrics in red (red/red prints), white (white-on-white white shirtings, and off-white) and blue (blue/blue prints). On March 10th we'll spend a full day making tops, and we'll invite the public to join us. If you have some nice fabric, fitting of these heroes, we would buy it from you and pay shipping.
Pieces would need to be:
red prints that read as a solid or near-solid red
white-on-white or off-white that reads as solid
white shirting prints with a compatible color
blue prints that read as a solid or near-solid blue
other colors may be present (gold, black, brown, tan) in small amounts
stripes of R, W, &/or B
high quality 100% cotton
pieces of 1 - 3 yards each -- some FQ's ok
5 pieces of 4-6 yards of backing fabric based on r/w/b
odor free & clean (we will rewash all)
Offering to pay up to $2 per yard plus postage
no more than 50 yards total
