Great question.

I’d like to sign up, is there anyone willing to sponsor me?

PamelaOry, just sent a message to Barb. :)

Thank you Janice!

I'm happy to join for another year. Last year I made the mistake of using all of several colors in a project so I'm short on variety. This is the perfect way to get that problem solved. It always amazes me that I'll get 1,850 squares of fabric without any repeats!

Welcome newcomers! I hope you have as much fun as I do.

Welcome to the newcomers! You are going to meet some great quilters in this swap. Have fun! fun! fun.

No pre-washed is NOT required. but with that said some may be pre-washed. Mine are mostly scraps, mostly given to me and gathered through out the past year. So I don't know if they are. I just know I like them and would put them in my own quilt. (and am....I always cut a set or two just for me).

well if we have "newbies" what are the returning ones called??? Oldies??? returners??? vetrans????


I got it...."knowbies"!

So all you "Knowbies" out there feel free to post some photos of the quilts & projects you have made with you little squares.

*** we also call 2.5" squares ....candies. Just incase that every comes up!

A few more questions:

what kind of fabrics are best? I have several batik fat quarters that I think would make cute squares but don’t know if batiks are the best choice for this swap?

can you use precut candies?

I've swapped batiks before. And I have received precut candies. I'm okay and good with either! :)
