Let's try for 6.5 inch pre-washed squares - thirty per fabric please. Ship date if Oct. 30th. Please send a SASE or postage for flat rate priority envelope with your squares. Also as with the fall swap if you could put your squares into a zip type bag with your name/address/ and number of sets written on it. That should make sorting much easier for me for the ship out.

I'll take one spot for now please :D

I'll take one spot.

May i have 2 spots please?

May I have 2 spots please?

I'd like a spot. :)

I am such a newbie about swaps that I have some questions about this. Please direct me to another message if the answers are already posted. If I took one spot in this swap I would send 30 squares of the same fabric and get 30 different squares back? About how much would shipping cost? I'm interested but since I haven't done a swap I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into. Thanks!

I'd like to join... Just one spot please... :)

Yes, mama, for each set of 30 that you send in, you get thirty back (well, one is the original you sent, so you get 29 'new' ones LOL), and when I shipped mine for the farmer's market swap, I did 2 sets, they both fit into a ziploc bag, and then I put them, along with a flat rate envelope that already had postage on it into a flat rate envelope, and that worked just fine. I spent 4.05 on the way there, and then 4.05 to get them back :D

Thanks for the info, Tuesday!

I would like 1 spot please.

What are the standards for our fabric choices? I have a great fabric with black and white medallions, but the background is grey. Does that matter? Or should it be strictly black and white?

-Jeannine

I'm just stopping in to sya way to go mom!!!! Congrats for handling your first AmitySwap!!!!

I'll take a spot too.

I'd like one spot please.

I'd like 2 spots, please. :)

zebra fabric, sound cool or not cool? :D

Definitely cool. :cuc:

That sounds fine with me. Grey is just a shade of black.

one spot please .

Allison

I'll do two, if that's okay.

Found a cool B&W print (I hope it's not a duplicate of someone else's)

I have a black/white/grey batik and a white on white ivy design - will these work?

4.05 both ways seems like a lot! Is there a cheaper way to do shipping? It is pretty cheap to send a yard of fabric isn't it? I was thinking about doing this one, but surprised at the shipping a bit. Any ideas, or is this what everyone does.
Thanks!
Alison

When I was thinking about what to make with a black and white quilt, I thought about making some black and white photo squares to go with the fabric. That would be really cute!

If anyone has to drop their spot, please let me know as I'd LOVE to pick up a spot in this. I would have it out in 48hours.

Take mine! Please! ROFL

The switch is done for you lemonsong and Tuesday. Is there any more interest in this swap? If not I willl take the rest of the spots.:)

I'm sure first class would be cheaper, it just seems that more packages get lost that are mailed FC than those that are shipped Priority...that's why I choose Priority. I don't mind paying the extra to (hopefully) make sure my squares actually get here LOL. (Not saying they *will* get lost if they are shipped FC, just, it seems like everytime I hear about something not getting to it's destination, it was FC). I know some mamas use FC shipping, they could probably give you an idea on the shipping for that! :D

Gaga, can you please PM me your mailing addy? TIA!
~Jess

OMG I GOT A SPOT?!?! Umm...did Tuesday have more than one spot? I'd take more than one spot NO PROBLEM. OH YAY!!!

Lisa, it looks to me as if there are extra spots available anyway - not all 30 slots were taken. Send away! :)

Hi!

Just let me know and I won't be offended if I don't qualify.

Thanks
Molly

I'll vouch for Molly, I've traded with her and sold/bought with her a few times, and have always been pleased with the outcome. :)

There are seven spots left. How many would you like?

You can join in as you have a recomend. How many spots do you want?

Thank you! I will take 2 spots please.

Molly

10/20: Wow I'm early this time! I sent them out Priority today/Friday!!
Charlene, can I get your PP addy to send return shipping? Thanks!!

Mine are on the way :)

I sent them this weekend. They're white with black dragonflies, black with white dragonflies, and a black with white drizzle swirly design. :heart: I love them all - hope you do, too. :D

I enclosed a self-addressed envelope, and a note that I am PPing the fees. Please let me know how much and where to send when the time comes!
Thanks :)

I just pm'd for the addy, I was out of it last week. I had an asthma attack, the first in over 15 years and am on predisone :-( for a week :-(
Mine will ship on Monday

I need to know where to send paypal for return shipping too :D

Woo hoo - I can't wait! Jack is going to LOVE this quilt! :)
I'm hoping to get something small made for him to look at in his carseat when we go on our trip :D

I was wondering if these are ready to ship?

I'm still waiting on two people to send me their pkgs. If they don't arrive by Sat. I will divide up what I do have and mail them out the first of next week.
I'm so sorry for the delay on this swap.

Not your fault, Charlene! :hug:

You've been very gracious and patient. :big hug:

No biggie. I was just checking since I think I forgot to put stamps on the return mailer. :eek:

I mailed the packages out on monday afternoon. There are doubles on some squares in each set as two people dropped out. Hope you all like the asortment as much as I do. :)

I got my squares yesterday. Wonderful! I can't wait to get started on my quilt.

I hope that everyone will post a picture of what they do with their squares.

:)

Jeannine

I got my squares today - they look great!

Received my package today! This is going to be one cool quilt! :)
Thanks so much!

I got my squares yesterday too. I love 'em.

Thanks for doing the swap.:)

Got mine!!!

They are SO cool, Charlene! This was a FABULOUS swap. :) :heart:

I pulled out the cow and batik stripes (aka "zebra") print ones, as well as a few others to make a little hanging thing for Jack to look at while we're driving. I laid out my quilt tonight and took pictures, but I'm not showing until it's done! :D

It's REALLY cool! :)

Thanks to everyone who participated!
