Got my orang candies all cut will have them ready to sent off Mon.

How about, "orange is the new black"

I've cut my 10 bags.....no Halloween fabrics in the bunch.

I'm in for 10 bags....no Halloween fabric either

Morning ladies. I believe we are at ten total right now. Just one more to join and no duplicates! :)

Mine are bagged and addressed for mailing- with stamps included. There are no Halloween fabrics, mostly batiks. They are so pretty, I was glad to have at least one of each for myself.

And, Red, I wanted to tell you how helpful this swap has been for me. First, you picked the perfect number (10 baggies), because from a fat quarter I get 12 - 5" squares. (That is 1 each for 10 friends and 2 for me). Then I get a 3" strip left over that I can cut into some 2.5" squares and put them in my 2.5" charm box for swaps or usage. Plus put some of the 3"strip in storage for my strip/string collection. This still works if there is shrinkage after washing the fat qtr. After pulling all my orange fat qtrs out to pick and sort for these swaps, I am now putting all the leftover oranges back together in my fat qtr storage area.....so slowly, my stash is slowly getting organized. Thanks, again...Jane

Ditto what Jane said. Plus, I am getting to fill in the color holes in my stash.

Jane, sounds like you & I organize the same way! Cut for 10 5"squares, split the leftover strip for 1.5" & 2.5" squares for future swaps & save a string for a string quilt project!
Shopped today for 5 new orange FQs to balance out what I send in case it is in another swappers stash or if they don't like it. The new ones are marvelous, I couldn't resist them, hope you agree!
hugs,

Mine are going out on Tuesday. All cut and no Halloween and only one fall theme. Pretty impressed as orange is not a color I would often use but cannot wait to make a quilt out of the 5 inch orange charms.
