Can you clarify for me the fabric requirements?
1 set of 50 - can not have duplicate fabric
2 sets of 50 - can be the exact same fabrics as long as there are no duplicates in each set
sorry for asking the same question as before but someone's answer made me second guess the requirements.
thanks

I was able to pick up a couple packs of 1.5 stamps when I stopped at Keepsake Quilting this summer. They were in the summer sale bin at 25% off so I got them for $.75!
Me too! I have narrowed down all activities to 1.5 swaps - I need about three or four more. Some online stores have had fat 1/4 bundles (usually about 25 ea bundle) that averages out $1-$1.50 for each fat quarter - Mystery bundles are the best-unique from each store. So, I have a lot of fat 1/4's to cut my squares from.

i'm trying hard not to be the one who wins by dying with the most fabric. when i visit estate sales in my area, i see firsthand how much sewers/quilters/crafters have the potential to overbuy. i gave most of my stash away and am in recovery (being a collector). if i go to one of those joann sales and find all of those bargains.... i'm sure i will see a relapse in my future.

lynne it depends on how you package them and how many sets you send. i send 20 sets using the jewelry sized baggies and my postage averages at $2.30 - $2.50. remember you will also need to include a stamped return envelope to have your stamps returned so you will be paying postage both ways.
