I cut my fq into 2.5" strips then I cut those into 2.5" squares. OR I cut 2.5" squares from 2.5" jelly roll strips. Once you get in the grove of it the cutting goes nicely. Hope you join!! But beware...these "candy" charms are known to be addictive!!

Any 2.5" candy works. The December theme is just the end time.

No, no swap for the 3 1/8" just prep for some blocks that I'm making.. I cut a 10" wof and get a strip of each that I can use..1.5", 2.0", 2.5" & the 3 1/8". I'll post a photo of what I'm doing.. I get extra pieces from the strip because I only need part of it for the widest cut...

Hello all! I'm in for 15 cotton and 5 batik sets. I thought I'd get more cut this weekend, but it's been pretty busy with other stuff. I went to a yard sale last week and the ad in the paper said "quilt fabrics". Boy, did she have quilt fabrics. I couldn't believe all that she had, and this was only the stuff she was purging. She said she has much more in the house. Anyway, I got lots of nice quilt fabric for a real good price and will be cutting up some of it for this swap! I'm looking forward to another great swap.
