Measurements are such a good idea...it would be sad to get something too big to use:( I hope I get some good input from my partner....already my quilting ADD is kicking in as I sort through my stash....lol

Sounds like fun and I could always use another table topper. Patriotic, wine, or summer colors....doesn't matter.
I better pm.:thumbup:

skaduzy!
 

Skaduzy!!! Welcome to the gang!! This is going to be so much fun ... oh and I dont agree its not ADD its called any excuse to go play with your fabric! I use them every chance I can get. Yahoo! Another one joins the group! and another one joins and another one joins.. and well how cool is that? variety is the spice of life we have a wonderful eccletic group here. this should be a ton of fun (imagining all the fabric posts and peaks and reveals!)..

Can I join. I could use a pretty tablerunner.

Grandmadi WELCOME to the group!!! The more the merrier they say :) I am so ready to get started working with pretty bright colors. I just finished a quilt top for another swap and its all dark blue and purple and greens and .. not telling but its a rich dark gemstone colored quilt and I am now ready to go light bright fun exciting sunny colors. You ever get that way work with one theme so much that you now want to work with anything but that for a while? Happens to me often. I love the booms this way you can end up with a quilt out of fabrics you love but dont have to spend hours playing with yourself :) variety and all that.

room for more. join us!

And the group keeps growing!!!! So Elisabrat -- weren't you worried about getting enough people interested to join in your first, very own swap?? Can't wait to start!

I have like 5 different designs in my head with all different colors. One is with the wine fabric, one with all batiks, one with all farmer's market fruits, etc!!! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! How much longer until we get our partners so we can start discussing ideas!!!

lots of good ideas floating around , hope to get our swap partners soon?

I wish I had this very good idea (bad bad idea) of waiting til May so that people have the opportunity to finish up some things like booms and such and feel able to join this one too. We are now 34 and rising!!! (yes I was afraid no one would sign up if I was doing this..) I believe I would get in trouble giving out names early so I have to wait. Open to bribes of all sorts...

I wonder if I can say if you are making patriotic make start on that its ok and I will find you someone who wants patriotic. the trick is you probably have to want it back so I can let someone who wants to make it also swap with you when I hand out names.. anyone think that is a possibility? like I cant give you names but I can say 20 of you who want to make summer make summer and the rest want to make patriotic make that then try to figure out who gets who for partners? that way the rush bunnies can start and the rather wait and see's can wait and see... just a thought. might not even be legal here. I know in DQ's they start early some are ready to send the day they get their partners. some wait til last day of the month to send. so.. old advisers/kibitzers feel free.. jump on in give me your thoughts. remember your with a partner not a secret pal.

ps I know with so many players it will be easy enough to seperate into those two groups considering ther are allergins to take in also.. plenty of n/s and smokers pets and no pets to get everyone safely a swap that will please all or at least most :)
