Will pass although it is tempting as my stash is stashed.
when I pack for swaps I put everything in ziplock bags then use a needle to punch a few holes. Then squish the entire large bag.

Well, we've gotten off to a good start:

Macy Baby is sending 24 bags
Quiltmom2 is sending 8 bags

I haven't yet decided whether to cut 3 or 4 sets. We have plenty of time and I have plenty of fabric, so it will probably be 4 sets.

That's all you have to put together. Obviously, it's a bag with ten different fabrics in it times 8. It can be the same 10 fabrics in each bag or not.

They said that a pound would be about $20.00.

I will have enough for 1 set of 8 bags. I'm no sure if these fabrics are are suitable if not, I will buy more. Is the "framed" one too busy? Thanks

m-fay, I'd be happy with what you've shown. And I sure hope it's not "unacceptable" as I've got several that are "busy" like that. I think they add way more interest being more like a picture.

I think the bear is perfect for an I Spy quilt.

Here's where we are:
Macy Baby is sending 24 bags
Quiltmom2 is sending 8 bags
M-fay is sending 8 bags
I'm sending 32 bags

I think that is enough so that no one gets duplicates.

So, we're moving right along.

I started cutting my charms on Saturday. It's been really cold (for us) here, so I've stayed in. I had forgotten how many really fun I Spy fabrics I had. Here is the first set (I hope): (Yes, they are on a cookie sheet.)

Quiltmom, I received your package. Thanks.

I labeled my 4 sets yesterday, so they are ready to go.

I explained what I was doing and the "how to" play of an I spy quilt to my cousin. So now I'm making an I Spy quilt for her great-grandson's second birthday in March I met the little bugger at her birthday party last fall. He is adorable.
