some input please. I have a few prints for a summer theme, but would it be better to send all prints or a mix of prints and tone on tone/textures?
Have 5 prints, but none would actually 'go' together (due to poor selection at several not so Quilt stores)
any input welcome

I will be combining a variety of fabrics .... from prints to batiks to whatever. I don't think they have to go together, just follow the theme somehow. Some of the fabrics I've received in the past have not been complementary ... and that's ok with me. It's good to have a variety of fabrics in your stash. Friends here have helped get outside my box ... really appreciated! Do what you want.

Go look at earlier threads at the pictures of what other people have sent and received. Maybe this will give you some ideas.

I have been sending fabrics that go with the monthly theme, but not necessarily together...I really didn't think about matching them all...lol...guess its because at my lqs where I belong to a great group, my "quilty sisters" are always telling me to quit being so "matchy matchy"...and try new things...really its just that I am picking out fabrics that match the monthly theme, and just sending that way...I think whatever you decide to do is fine...we are all pretty easy-going around here and just enjoying the fun and mystery of the swap!
Regards,
Kif

Ohhhh can't wait for the names to be given out.

I can't remember how many I signed up for, but
have most of the fabric "picked" out.
