I love frizzymama's rainbow idea too! I was thinking that 56 is a lot of swappers. Maybe we could do half a yard with 24 swappers, even if we had 56 colors, or "sets". It might not be enough for a whole quilt, but it would be a GREAT and colorful head start.

Check out this "I Spy Quilt".......
Forum - Main - Batting or not? If yes..........
Scroll down to PaperPrinsess's post (#8) and check out the 2 links she posted. I love the "I Spy Quilt". And on page 7 of the 2nd link there is another example of this pattern.

I, too, participated in Frizzymama's color swap and it was a beautiful array of fabrics.
I was also thinking that if we didn't want to do full on color swap, we could somehow make it the twist? Maybe 10 fabrics per twist, 2 each of 5 different colors? It wouldn't be quite as organized as Frizzymama's and you might get a few more of one color group than another, especially if people get to pick their 5 colors. But it would still give variety. Just thinking out loud.

I was never a fan of orange....and then I found this very luscious, beautiful orange at a quilt shop and changed my tune! Same shop had a gorgeous yellow and orange that read orange....ummmm. And purple - don't get me started! This is one of my son's high school colors and I truly love it! Purple and black quilt on my horizon.
I know you all LOVE color as much as I do...so yes to a twist or yes to a color swap. How I would love to make a rainbow quilt! But I still love my I spy projects, too!!

I LOVE this! I'm going to do one, but not with I Spy centers or denim. Just how wonderful - wow.
