I host the 6" fabric square swaps with different themes. The current one is posted http://www.quiltingboard.com/member-...p-t224956.html if you are interested. I have accumulated a TON of I-Spy fabs from my swap. 1/2 yard of fabric, cut 12 squares and that's it. Also I have seen a lot on Ebay for sale. I also watch the clearance section and the "mistake" cut section for squares.

Wow! I'm overwhelmed by the response: so many options that I hadn't thought of! I like the idea of swapping, so expect to hear from me again! (BTW: my only quilty friends are all of you: haven't found a 'real-time' quilt friend in my area yet).

The "Member Swaps and Round Robins" section of this board often has an I Spy swap going on. I've participated in two and have 180 5" squares as a result. Don't know when the next one will be but probably soon. You might pm Owlvamp because she has hosted the two I know of.

I do several I spy swaps on the board - you swap sets of 20 squares on owlvamp's 5" square swap, so you need about 1/2 a yard per set - so you if you swap the max, which is 6 sets, you get 120 different squares back! Next swap is in September.

Collecting I-Spy quilt squares
Hi --OWLVAMP hosts an I-Spy - 5" block swap about every other month. Next one is in September. Keep an eye out for the announcement from her in Member Swaps and Round Robin Resources site. I've participated on at least 3 swaps...each time I received enough squares to make a lap quilt -- approximately 100 squares. Easy to make a nice I-Spy quilt from that many squares. Attached is the D4P I-Spy quilt I made for my 2 yr old granddaughter. - Julie
