Yes, it's kids prints. SheriR I think your fabric is perfect.
It's really hard for me to measure each charm . I think we all know how to cut 5" squares. So I hope this doesn't bother anyone I am sorry but when we have over 20 people sign up that's a lot of charms.LOL |
I love it!!! I hope they will be permitted. I have the same issue with some nice LQS fabric. I am scared that the print might be considered small.

I bought these prints this summer specifically for this swap. Now I'm worried the design is to small. I places a quarter on each one to help you see what size they are. Please let me know. |
I found overall they were not too bad. I did have one that was too large so that was easy to solve. If it is too small to make it work it will go in the kids print scrap pile. This way it will still get used.

That's one of the reasons I usually shy away from swaps of small pieces. Even placing the ruler to one side or the other of the cutting board grid line, can result in noticeably smaller or larger cuts. On these smaller pieces, a few threads can make a really big size difference. Then if the fabric wasn't washed first, it ends up even smaller. :rolleyes: I'm thinking if I join this swap, I'll just take my received squares and if they don't match in size, just cut them all down to 4-1/2". :) Gotta see if I have any swap-worthy fabrics, first. :thumbup: |
Sheri R...........love your selections.............and no they are not to small..............to me it is better they are small instead of too large...................of course small and spread out with lots of blank area is not good............for example one small item and a couple cut off items on a 5 inch square is not the best choice.........
All I have to do is get my doubles together and mine will be in the mail...........If I have a chance I will take a picture............ |
I also have some 6.5 inch blocks for I spy. Maybe next swap will be 6.5 if enough want to participate . I have everyone down so far that PM me. Soon I'll start a list.
|
I'm so excited to be part of this... I've never done 'I Spy' swaps, but have been wanting to collect fabrics for charity 'I Spys' for kids.
Question: What about Christmas fabrics? Are they allowed in this swap, or no? I have some Grinch fabric I'd like to use, and another Christmas fabric with little old fashioned toys on it that I would fussy cut. I have plenty of others that will work if you don't want Christmas.... |
Owlvamp, I'm so glad to see you back. Hope all is well with both you and DH. Count me in. I just sent you a pm.
|
Excited to swap again! Just finishing up my twists then they'll be headed your way Owlvamp! :-) Will take some pictures as well.
