June 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.

**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 June the theme is summer. You can go with summer colors, prints or patterns to do with summer, anything "summery"!

Since there isn't a whole lot to this swap, the turn around time will be pretty fast. Sign up until noon on MAY 31st, receive person's name and address by June 2nd and mail out no later than June10th. Participants are required to PM me when they have received their FQ's and are required to post a PM thanking the sender.

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.

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

Hi, Brenda. Sent PM, can't wait. This is so fun and affordable.

I just noticed this swap last month, but didn't get the sign up done. It sounds like fun. Pming you

just a few more days to sign up!

Have my FQ ready to mail as soon as I get my 2 names.

Has anybody noticed that pre-cut fat quarters measure a scant 18" X 21" these days? Why do I continue to cut mine a generous 18" x 22" or larger?

because you're more generous than the stores:thumbup:

Yes i have noticed that also. Most real quilt shops stay with the 18 X 22, but walmart, Ben franklin, Joannes, Hobby lobby... they are stocking msaller... I Just don't buy them! Most of the NON-quilt shops are stocking lower quality of fabric and selling them for alomost the same as Q shops... that's not right.. Here in our area WA. fats are 3.00. No way is the fabric at walkmart worth 3.00. Careful ladies and gents at what you buy if you want good quality.

Ladies, for those of you who inquire about my condition, greenini aka JO introduced me to a site you can visit daily for updates about my condition. You can go HERE to stay tuned on what's going on and I won't have to keep repeating the same story over and over. Thanks JO (greenini) for the site and all of you who have shown concern.

This is a wonderful site and saves so much energy for everyone concerned. We can provide support without interferring with recovery. Thank you mscupid804 for sharing!! Speedy and sure recovery!

I cut mine a TRUE FQ (18x22)too MaryMO.

I actually have been cutting most of mine bigger than the 18x22, to make up for any pre-cuts I may also be sending that are smaller...lol...don't have any "reasoning" behind it, just what I do...

Well, if mine are like 19x23 or 24 I leave it and send it on. Not going to shave that little bit down to get it exact.

same here ... I'd rather send more than less.
Got my summer fabrics gathered and bought, just need to wash fabric and cut and then wait for name. I'm excited to see who gets these .... and what they do with them. That's the best part of this swap.
