Hi Happylab..thanks for joining us.
Sign up continues for a few more weeks but we will stop taking people when we hit 35. That means you will send out 34 (ourself is 35) and you will receive 34 in return on or around your birthday. It sounds like a lot to send out but it is over a year. Our first month that we will send out is March and we have 3(so far) people with birthday in March. Start getting your stacks of 50 different squares ready(100% cotton)...do not have to coordinate..ready for mailing. When I give you the addresses on the 20th of each month that will give you enough time to get them packaged and mailed out in time for their birthday.
Hope that answers your questions.
Barb

I guess I will get my questions answered as we go along. Do the 50 squares need to coordinate. Or can they be any type of cotton fabric (like mixing 30's with batiks, etc)? I'm sending my PM now.

This is a fun swap for sure! To give you an idea of how they can be packaged and shipped, Here's a sample of what I've received so far. I found if you can get it flat it costs less to ship (under a dollar).

I like to join this swap. I love 2.5 squares and have the die for my go cutter. I have a big box already cut and I'm off to cut more now!
