Maybe we can put on our pm what we like and what we have to swap to help pair us together? I'm thinking of joining and I have a bunch if great quilt shop brand name fat quarters and yardage but it's not my style, and would love for it to be used by someone who likes it.

One of those boxes will easily hold at least 15 yards of fabric. I have managed to stuff over 20 yards in one.

Can we sign up for two boxes? After going through my stash, I stuffed one box FULL (as in solid as a rock! LOL!), but there's more than enough left over to fill another box!

LOL You realize that you will get the same quantity back?


Really bearisgrey 15-20 yards. That might be too big for me to handle. I'll have to find a box and see what I can get in it.

LOL! Yep! The way I figure it, at least it'll be some different fabrics to look at!

Hmmmm, still thinking on. I do have a couple more weeks to decide. I know I can fill a medium flat rate box. And yes there is that fabric that I bought and now can't decide what to do with besides maybe a back. Buggy Barn in Reardon, WA is having fat quarters on sale for a buck. I could get the ones I want, and send the others off. Oh please don't get me started. I have enough to do.

You can absolutely sign up for two, moonrise! You will get two partners. Sounds like we should all go to GA and shop in your stash.

LOL! My stash is well-thinned-out, now. (Darn, I'll have to go shopping! What a bummer! )

Go ahead and put me down for two boxes. Both of them are full of big pieces from my stash cabinet. I didn't even get to my scrap bins. I made 4 scrappy quilts a couple of months ago, but it didn't even make a dent in these scraps. Whew! They reproduce like bunnies!

Oh you got that right moonrise. So clean up those scraps as you go because if you buy them extra bins, soon you have nothing but bins of scraps! Yes, that is me all over the place. Right now I am finding some young ladies who want to start quilting to give them to. Of course, I am hoarding, but giving a few makes the drawer look emptier.

Really. I just went and checked - and packed 20 yards into one of those boxes. The box bulged a bit, but was still closeable. An 11 yard length, a 6 yard length, and a 3 yard length. Measured lengths!

So - if I was playing- I would expect to pack AT LEAST 15 yards (or equivalent) into one of those boxes (of 'regular quilting cotton').
