Let me see if I have 50 different fabrics that I’m ready to cut up into charms before I commit. Will let you by the deadline.

I'm glad to go with 15. I can get 8 from WOF so with cutting two WOF, I'll get 16, one for me and 15 to share!

Though this time I'm cutting up smaller leftover chunks, and I've got way more than enough. I plan on getting them in the mail on Monday.

BTW - DH and I got the first roof section done. The wind has really picked up since we got off the roof so we wrapped it up just in time!

zozee: you only need to have different fabrics in each baggie. So if you send in 10 baggies of 15 charms, and all 10 baggies have the same charms as each of the other bags, you're good to go.

Lordy, I can't seem to get my head on straight today.

Let me try another way

You have fabrics 1-15

You could have one of each in a bag for bag one. One of same charms in another bag for bag two, etc.

Does that help?
So in reality, you really only need 15 different fabrics, providing you have enough to put in each bag.

yes?

I failed to do this and am not sure when I quit doing it. I just found the dots and noticed I had a big baggie and thought... Crap I have not been doing that. Sorry Red.
Put all your swap bags in one big ziplock then affix a tag on it that includes your name and mailing address, as well as your board name.

hav4: you're fine. It is really just to try and protect against losing anything should the post office go....well....postal

No worries. Maybe I'm being overly cautious? Should I remove that request, maybe?

Last night I worked on my 5 inch squares. I have done the Mr. B's club with Benartex and so I have lots of orphan squares that are a one off because they did not end up in the project. I was going to use some of them so each bag will be different. Is that ok?

Every one of my bags will be different, though there will be plenty of shared fabric. I don't think I've gotten more than 9 squares out of any one fabric so far. Am about 2/3 of the way done.

Batik, more than okay!

Macy, same goes for you....how exciting to be able to get through some of the odd size stash, isn't it??

I'll be cutting mine this weekend when we get up to the cottage. Hubby informed me he was going on a bike ride with the guys, so other than the dogs, it's just me. Alone. In my sewing cave. Happy as a LARK! LOL
