Owlvamp, You've gotten alot of good advise here from our swappers. I didn't have any stash when I first got on the QB. I still don't have any large pieces. If I need to back a quilt, I piece it or I go buy yardage. My WalMart is 20 mins away and any QS is over an hour. When I go into the city or on a road trip, I MAKE IT COUNT!! I often send my daughters money for fabric. My only request is whatever they buy, they get an extra 7" so I have a variety of what they get that I can cut into two 2.5" strips and one 1.5" strip. They laugh and call me crazy. lol YES...yes I am. I also just purchased some online from a half off sale. I ordered alot of 1/4 to 1/2 yard cuts. I'm so exctied to get it.
And what Lisa said it correct, 15 sets is maximum. I have ladies who have signed up for as little as 3 sets to begin their trading.
Right now we have 25 ladies signed up to trade Cotton sets, 11 to trade Batik sets and 15 to trade Neutral sets.
