Question for the group - I have a fabric (that I hope you can see from the photo) that has a lot of words in the 5 inch square. Is this ok to send?[ATTACH=CONFIG]555892[/ATTACH]

I'm certainly no expert, but couldn't you ask the child find the square with the "words"? That's kind of my criteria. If I can name what's on the square, I use it (especially if it's bright and colorful).

bkay, that's what I was thinking, but this is my first swap with this group so I wanted to ask. If nothing else, it would make a great filler. We can all use more love, care, hope, and joy in our lives.

This word fabric is bright and cheery. After having a child find one with words, the adult can name the words and talk about the feelings the words convey.

That's a good idea. The fabric was one of the St Jude Children's Hospital collection at Hancock Fabrics years ago. I put a couple others from the same collection in the bags. The are all great fabrics to play with.

Received another squishy today from Jannie. Thank each of you for the little "extras" you sent along.

There has been a discussion/question about fussy cutting. Here is an I Spy showing squares that have been fussy cut. If you have a question about if your fabric needs to be fussy cut - take some template plastic and cut the center out for a 5" square - and it will give you a quick guide on whether your fabric needs to be fussy cut or not. Plus you may already have a template that will work to give you a "different" view of your fabric.

I like that Jack quilt, rbwiese. You have a certain colorway amidst the activity, which I like. I think a busy quilt is okay but I do enjoy seeing a coordinated plan of colors. Lots to see and do here. Nice job fussy cutting.
