This was my first 2" square swap and if I want to make a quilt of any size I'm gonna need lots more, so would love another swap at a few months interval. Also, I like the idea of doing the same color or 2 or 3 colors.

I like the idea, but it may be hard for people to come up with 50 of just one color group. What we could do is include a 'twist' next time, which is a designated theme. So you might choose to send 8 sets of the regular squares, and 5 twists, which might be bags of 25 green-only squares. Or kid's theme squares... or black and white squares... etc. A different 'twist' theme each time.

It's great if we don't have to go out and buy fabric to cut up, but rather be cutting our scraps as we accumulate them. I have a little storage cabinet with a drawer for 1.5" squares, one for 2" squares, and one for 2.5" squares, as well as some bigger, like 4" and 5". Bonnie Hunter inspired me to cut up my scraps into useable size squares and/or strips, and I found I really enjoy doing it.

This summer I've done 2 2" swaps, 2 2.5" swaps, 1 1.5" birthday swap, am currently cutting for swaps 2.5 (SheriR) and an upcoming fall swap of 12 swaps in 1.5, 2, 2.5. Leaving me very little time after working until 5pm to do the quilting I want to do with my new longarm, but hey, count me in any 2" swap, they come in handy!

Wow, that's a lot of swaps, DJ... my head would be swimming and I'd surely screw something up! You must be doing some swaps elsewhere, besides the QB?

Annually, QB (10-12 swaps), Curious Quilter (3), Flickr (2), locally (4), old friends (3-6) & new ones(1-3). The charm sise varies with each swap (remember, the last letter of the alphabet on this laptop is still not working).

The Fall swap I mentioned requires 100 different cotton fabrics & 12 swaps of those 100 count sets, so you get enough to finish projects (1200)! QB has the most cost efficient swaps because all swaps go to the host & you can swap 10 or more of the 50 count sets; Flickr has a host, too, so it is also cost efficient but you don't get the variety - usually need a yard each of 2-4 fabrics; Curious Quilter swaps are mailed directly to an assigned swapper so postal charges can vary especially if overseas or Canada, but the CQ swap variety is awesomeness personified and you make friends that may swap with you consistently when they buy new fabric. You should see some of the charms from overseas sent to me, cool stuff! Yes, Sheri, I swap whenever & wherever I can to make grand no repeat PSQs.

Six more to come, and then we swap!! :)

Glad to hear they arrived.

I would also like more 2" swaps but I'm not sure of a swap with one color theme. I agree, a twist might be in order with a regular swap.

Got squares from ahwu today... adorable little bundles! That leaves only 5 left to collect before I can swap. So...
REMINDER: Please mail by TOMORROW, (Friday), if you haven't mailed yet, so I will have you squares in hand by the 15th. I'm swapping on the 16th!

Just checked my pms and everyone of the 5 outstanding swappers has sent me a pm telling me they had mailed... so we are just waiting on the postal service! Looks like we'll be right on track or even early. If I get them all early, I'll go ahead and swap and mail. Yippee...
