April FQ (Fat Quarter) Swap
 

Description: This will be a monthly swap. You will sign up each month and you can choose each month whether or not to participate. You will be given a random person to swap with and that person will change each month.
Each month there will be a different theme or color that we will swap. There is a limit of two swaps per person.

**Each person will swap 5 fat quarters that go with the theme or color of the month.
**FQ's can be purchased or can be from your stash but they must be 100% cotton and they must measure 18 x 22 inches (standard FQ).
**They should be 5 DIFFERENT FQ's.

For the month of April the theme is Batiks.
Since there isn't a whole lot to this swap, the turn around time will be pretty fast. Sign up until noon on April 5th, receive person's name and address by April 8th and mail out by April 10th. Participants are required to PM me when they have received their FQ's and are required to post a PM thanking the sender. You don't need to let me know that you have mailed.

*When you send your FQ's please be sure to include your board/screen name so that people know whom to thank.

If you would like to participate please PM me with your board name, full name and address and the number of sets you would like to do. Two set limit.

Please see the rules for all board swaps and PM me with any questions. This swap has been approved by the admin.

Just placed my order for 10 fq on ebay. Spent less than $20 and that includes shipping!! I was looking at them at Joann's and it was going to be nearly $30 after tax. They should arrive by Thursday, just in time for my partners' names.

I'm in for 2 sets :)

Happy Easter everyone!!

I'm in for 2 sets of batiks for the April swap.... last month was my first swap and I got really nice fat quarters.. Thanks to all. Happy stitching....Ging

we have quite a few people signed up this month and a lot of new swappers...everyone L*O*V*E*S batiks:thumbup:

Oh goody!!! This is going to be one colorful swap this month! Yahoo!!!

Elisabrat...are you home and feeling better?:thumbup:

I wondered what will be the best/cheapest way to mail my fqs to my trade partners?

it's pretty much the same to mail anywhere in the US using a manilla envelope...just under $3.00.

Great, I'm ready then. :D

Perfect!!! Got mine in the envelope. :) All snug and wrapped up. :)

That's the way I mail mine too as some of you know. They're ready to be addressed and sent when we get the names. Can't wait, beautiful batiks!!

oops thanks for the reminder guys ..better get cutting and ironing, and enveloping. small details lol... I can't wait to see the variety. When I go to say equilter its so hard pages of batiks.. they all say pick me pick me...rainbows. right now I am searching for sunshine colors ...I am supposed to be making a mud colored quilt (grin) but decided to rebel. what a shock I know.. and its going to be sunshine batiks. Now that will be a a happy quilt. I can do that :)

I will have mine cut and ready to go this weekend. Can't wait to see what I get back.

Do they need to be prewashed??? If so I will need to wash them after getting them ready.

whatever works for you as far as the washing Cindy.

I don't wash mine ever. Whenever I add any fabric to a quilt, runner etc. I put in a color catcher always and have never had a problem. Just letting everyone know mine will not be washed.

My order arrived today!! Got to cut and then package them up. Ready for my names. I don't prewash either.

Mine are packed and ready for their trip to whereever. Batiks were a wonderful idea.
