some input please. I have a few prints for a summer theme, but would it be better to send all prints or a mix of prints and tone on tone/textures?
Have 5 prints, but none would actually 'go' together (due to poor selection at several not so Quilt stores)
any input welcome

I will be combining a variety of fabrics .... from prints to batiks to whatever. I don't think they have to go together, just follow the theme somehow. Some of the fabrics I've received in the past have not been complementary ... and that's ok with me. It's good to have a variety of fabrics in your stash. Friends here have helped get outside my box ... really appreciated! Do what you want.

Go look at earlier threads at the pictures of what other people have sent and received. Maybe this will give you some ideas.

I'm in for 5 sets. I already PM'd you.

Ready to mail my Fq's to my people. So much fun putting them together. Can't wait to see what names I get.

I have been sending fabrics that go with the monthly theme, but not necessarily together...I really didn't think about matching them all...lol...guess its because at my lqs where I belong to a great group, my "quilty sisters" are always telling me to quit being so "matchy matchy"...and try new things...really its just that I am picking out fabrics that match the monthly theme, and just sending that way...I think whatever you decide to do is fine...we are all pretty easy-going around here and just enjoying the fun and mystery of the swap! :)

Ohhhh can't wait for the names to be given out.

I can't remember how many I signed up for, but
have most of the fabric "picked" out.

Woot woot!! Got my names. Mailing tomorrow.

Got my name also.

Got my names too. Cant wait to put it all together and mail out.

Everyone should have their name(s)...let the fun begin:D

My FQ's have been mailed today!:)

Got my name,sent it out,but I didn't know the fabric had to be wash first,I am so sorry,

Sent my 2 bundles today. A little irony here, I have 2 sons and each one lives in the states I sent to and really close by. Must be esp.....

I don't know how Brenda chooses names, but I agree she must really have esp this month.

Sending my FQ's tomorrow.They are going to a state that starts with a T.;)

I just found this swap do you think i could join your swap.
If so i would like to do two spots please.

We have someone else who would like to play...do I have two people that want to do one more set each? Let me know please:thumbup:

If no one else has volunteered- I'd be happy to do another set!

Both of my swap packages were picked up yesterday... I'm sending sunshine to zipcodes that add up to 16 and 17. :thumbup:

Well that ain't me!:( I will be going shopping tomorrow so my pkgs won't go out until Monday.

Mailed mine today...each going pretty far from the other...one is going to a state right next door...lol...
