6“ Square Swap

I Spy Block Swap

I've been dying to do a swap before December so everyone can use the squares to make Christmas gifts... and I want to be sure lots of people can participate, so we'll try for a swap!*

This swap is going to have a schedule, so PLEASE be sure you can meet the deadlines BEFORE you sign up!

THE BASICS:

Mail 200 I-Spy squares to me by the 10th of the month.

Get 200 I-Spy squares back, all different, by the 24th day of the month.

I know this is a tight schedule, but I want everyone to have plenty of time to use their squares for Christmas presents!

THE DETAILS:

1. The first 30 people to comment are in. [If you live outside the U.S., no problem -- but please mail your fabrics a little earlier so there's plenty of time to meet the deadline!]

2. Cut 20 6" squares out of each of 10 different novelty print fabrics.

3. In order to avoid duplicates, everyone will need to search out unusual or obscure prints. Look for things that aren't available at chain stores. But, please, pick FUN ones! If you love it, the other swappers will love it too!

4. Remember that we are looking for fabric with objects on it, not printy-prints. (A fabric with FLOWERS on it is very different from a FLORAL PRINT.)

5. Limit / No "licensed" prints: No Disney, Dora, L.A. Lakers, etc.

6. Remember seam allowances! Be sure you can tell what you are looking at within a 6 1/2". Nobody wants only half of an object in their square -- cut them well! (Depending on your fabric choice, you may need to buy more than 1/4 yard in order to get an object into each cut square.)

If you want to join me in this obsession, leave a comment here that

includes your email address!!

Remember: The FIRST 30 who comment are IN!

*IF by chance we don't make it to the full swap,

we'll do a single swap with the first 15 and save the rest of the swappers for the next swap.

SERIOUS SWAPPERS ONLY...

Please read the guidelines before signing up!
