I'm in. And I'm the first to sign up. Come on gals, let's get a lot of us in on this. I don't care much for themed fabric, but sure do like those colors. P M ing Jane as we speak.

I'm in too!

Yeah!!! We're off & running!

Theme, not theme, color choice, all good to me, its fabric, and as I am a fabriholic, it all works, and I'll find a way to make it work. I'm in. I have decided to try something new this year, so having some on theme and some just color selection should prove to be interesting. I am going to make a quilt, that will take a year if this fat quarter keeps up for a year, and make blocks out of what I receive each month, and make it into one single quilt. This should be interesting, or absolutely terrible. But have decided to use only one other fabric, a neutral of some sort to off set or go with. I went thru what I had and will be using in deep cream I think. Scary, way out of my comfort zone, but here I go.

You go, Angel Girl. Great idea, might have to steal it from you.!!

Oh great Sewellie, then we can compare the end results, think that is a great idea. Please, steal away, lol.

Great idea, AnngelAnne! I hope you post the blocks you make. We'll cheer you on, I'm sure.

And, yes, the FQ Swap will go on - - - - if nothing else, we're continuing in memory of Linda, our previous host.

Here's who we have so far:

Keep 'em coming!!!

How about if each of us post in other various threads on the QB encouraging others to join in the swap?? Guess we'll find out if the Moderators approve or not - - -

Let's get lots of swappers!!

Sounds great to me! How will we know who posted on what? Do we reply here where we posted?

No idea. Like Nike says, just do it.

Yeah! Here's our update:



AnngelAnne
Bullock2us
Jclinganrey
lucky_alf2
nancyW
queenof2802
sewellie
tumrub

If we all post on another thread on the QB, maybe we could get a few more swappers. Ready? Set? Go!!!

OK! Here are our swap partners. Please get in touch with your partner for mailing information, etc.

These FQ's do not necessarily have to be Valentine related; simply reds, pinks and whites. Find out what your swap partner prefers. Be sure to communicate with your partner when you have received your FQ's!!

Have fun and post pictures. We love pictures!!

I have mine ready to mail tomorrow. Red is MY real favorite color. I shopped my stash and am happy to say I have enough to share. I did have to fight the shopping feeling though!!

I found a cute little Valentine's hanky I'm going to send along with my FQ's to my partner. Hope you like it, partner!

Can't believe how quiet this site is this time around. I sent a pm to my partner and haven't had an answer, so sent one again today. Hope she is doing okay. I will be sending out her package tomorrow. I also found a pattern for January block. I think I will do the block in the quarters I got from my swap partner and then again in the material I sent to her. Think if I do that every month, I will have 24 blocks by the end of the year to put into a top. Not sure if I will do a different pattern every month or the same one. I am leaning towards a different one. That will be 12 different patterns. This is going to be fun. I even hooked my sister into doing it with me. I split the fat quarters into fat eights and we can use just one other fabric, being the same through. Wish us luck!!

Tumrub your package is in the mail. It tells me that it will get there on Saturday.

Anngel - that sounds like a great plan. Would love to see a picture of the block you're planning to make.

I mailed out my FQ package yesterday to my partner & she mailed out yesterday too. We're all set.

How's everyone else doing?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]542499[/ATTACH]Here are the lovelies I received from sewellie! Thanks so much sewellie!

One of those looks familiar, I know I have some of it too. Nice selection sewellie. I have the pattern for the January swap picked out, will be cutting it this weekend, hopefully putting it together too, so I will post them as I go along. I think it will be fun. One block in my swap I sent, and one block in the swap I got for January, same pattern. Come on someone, join the challenge, lol. Man am I out of my comfort zone, I don't usually branch out on my own on an idea. This and the fish quilt I am currently working on, scary, lol. I know that sounds lame, but scary.

Okay, here we go, here we go.....tada!!! What a beautiful assortment I received today. Thank you so much Tumrub. I will post pictures of January blocks I ended up making in the March posting. Maybe I will even have February's done by then too.

Very pretty everyone!

I got a real surprise/shock in my mail. The package I mailed out to Lucky Alf2 came back to me; says 'insufficient funds' which is strange because I used the automated postage machine at the PO and paid for the amount on the screen. So sorry!!! Will mail out again today.

I received some lovely FQ's from Lucky Alf2 and will post pics soon.

Thank you!!

Okay, here you go ladies. This is the block I made with the January swap. See if I can get them to come out right. The dark teal center is the teals and limes that I sent to my swap partner, as she wanted for a project she was working on. My favorite colors are green and purple. The one with the green/white center is what I received. I decided the blocks will have the same pattern each month and that they would all be 12 inch block. I have started on the February swap, but have a bit to do.

It looks like the pictures came out opposite of how I loaded them, so glad I described which was which.

No worries Jane! I had that happen once -- I had selected the wrong package type (thicker than 1/4" so it's considered a parcel price wise) and it came back to me. Glad the package is OK and not lost :)

Love those blocks AnngelAnne! What a fun idea for the swap fabrics!!

Hi lucky_alf2, did you get the pm I sent to you? Please check! Thanks.

Thanks Lucky.....working on the February ones one. Somehow will figure out a way to put some of every thing I may get. I have the pattern picked out, now to make it work. It is fun seeing what I will end up with at the end of the year. I share half of each set with my sister and have her doing it too. Be interesting to see what she comes up with for blocks. And with just two blocks a month, no pressure.

Aren't these pretty??? Thank you so much!!!

Such pretty fabrics everyone! And a great block! Can't believe we already had Valentine's Day and Easter is almost upon us!

Hopefully everyone has received their FQ's by now. If not, please let me know ASAP.

I can't remember if I wrote that I received my FQ's. I did if I didn't. :thumbup:

Here is the wonderful package I received from jclinganrey/Jane. I love it! Thank you sew much Jane!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]543964[/ATTACH]
So sorry it took me a little while to post the pic -- I had trouble uploading it from to iphone to QB.
Thanks again for the great swap ladies!

So glad you like the FQ's. Enjoy!

I think our Feb swap is officially closed! Thanks everyone!
