Oh, looking at past layer cake swaps, I see that for the twist it is a fabric that "reads" white. So does that mean it can have another color in it as long as the background color is predominantly white?

Also, this is probably a silly question, but what do people use the white noodles for? Sashing? Isn't that usually all the same fabric? Just curious. Thanks!

~ Normally I ask that the set be of the same fabric HOWEVER with some fabs being 40in wide it become difficult.. so YES, you may add to make the required amount of sqs needed for the swap..

~ the noodles are used for whatever one deems.. Ive made rail fence blocks, ive used them for scrappy sashing, ive used hem to border blocks.. many uses, especially since im a scrappy quilter..

~ Yes, you may use more than one fabric in a set as long as EACH set is different than the others.. No duplicate fabrics..

Okay, now that I've figured it out (I hope), put me down for the max - 6 sets and 8 twists. Looking forward to it!

By "white/WOW" for the twists, do you mean any white print that reads as primarily white? Or something else? Luv can you pm me your email address again so I can sign up? I'm swapper #10. I'd like to know how many are doing the twists before I buy fabric for it.

I hope it's ok to put in a little plug...I did so on the Patriotic D4P thread....some swappers there liked the fireworks fabric and I wanted them to know it'll be in my package. Hoping for more swappers since I've already cut and it's ready to be packaged!! Here's what I'm offering:

And for white on white, I have birds, shamrocks, tulips, fireworks burst, leaves, puzzle type design, stars, crosses, vines....the fireworks burst and leaves are my favorites!
