If "meanie" means that you insist that the participants follow the guidelines - I think you deserve a medal!

I really want to do another I spy swap. I have so much going but I just may do it. I will have to hit you up for some tips and pointers if I do.

"I spy" is usually a child's quilt with objects to identify in them, such as "I spy a dog", "I spy a fire truck" etc

The last swaps were for five inch squares of novelty fabric -it had something that one could name on it - cows, chickens, apples, cars, fish, etc.
