Cut 30 squares since we added some fillers!

Thanks ladies, this filled up fast! Now have fun looking for that "perfect" material. PM me when you are ready for my address.

A few months ago this was done, but I want to do another one. I am trying to make twin size I spy quilts for my boys by Christmas. Yes, I am already thinking about Christmas gifts. I don't want any last minute rushing around.

Here's how it works. Sign up for a letter and send it 26 blocks 6x6 inches and you will get 26 blocks back ( don't keep one, I will just line them up alphabetically and go down the line when sorting). If you sign up for more than one letter you will get more than one set of blocks back. But how ever many letters you sign up for you will need to send in 26 blocks of that letter. Sometimes you many have to "fussy cut" so that you can get the object/objects. The material needs to be a cotton/woven. No knits, no fleece, preferably no flannel- think quilt blocks here.

Label the 6x6 inch blocks with your name, where you are from (it's just fun to see where the blocks are coming from) and the letter (example V for veggies).

Lets keep have a send by date of July 8th (that gets us through the holiday and gives us time if we need to order material online). Include a SASE or $3.85 and I'll just stick them in a flat rate envelope. PM me for my mailing address. Post which letter you want and I'll check back often to update this master list.

Any additional questions PM me, email me at tmrhop @ hotmail.com, or post here.

Cute idea! I will just go measure and see if I have enough "F" blocks...will post later!

eta: I've got enough. I'll do F's. I can pay extra for shipping to Canada, are you ok with shipping here? btw, HI TAWNYA!!! lol I hope you're well

My3babes · 06-07-2005, 05:07 PM

So you just find a fabric that has something with the letter you signed up for and you make 6 x 6 squares from that SAME fabric for all 26? Does that have to be the ONLY thing on that square. For instance I have a jungle fabric that has different animals but if I signed up for Z for zebra is it ok to have the lion and tiger in there too?!?

And you dont have to back or stitch them or anything just the squares with raw edges and PREWASHED?

Sorry never heard of an ABC swap but would love to participate!

If it is what I think it is I have enough fabric for "L" and "B".

frogsnladybugs · 06-07-2005, 05:12 PM

I'll take "H" and "T"

sveasmommy · 06-07-2005, 05:24 PM

I'll take M!

About having more than one thing on the square, last time there were a couple squares that I replaced because they had other things on them and it was confusing to my dd who was trying to indentify the letters.

Also, can we specify only 100% cotton woven and not flannel?

ETA: Here's a picture of a quilt I made from the with some of the squares from the last swap.

How many yards in 26 6X6 blocks?

My3babes · 06-07-2005, 05:43 PM

Should be less than a yard.. And thanks for the info!

I changed my letter D to B if that is ok.

Yes! lets fo it!!! So with that only 100% cotton woven and no flannel.

I think it would be best if you found fabric with only the letter you picked if possible. Search out ebay and online stores if you are having problems finding something locally.

I think you would need to get the squares, unless you are fussy cutting. (45 wide divided by 6 would be 7.5 squares, then you would need four rows, so that would be 4 X 6= 24 inches- so get a yard to be on the safe side) but like I said that's if you don't have to fussy cut. Last time I did airplane and had to cut squares around the airplane so I could get a full airplane on the square and it took more than a yard.

Hi Ana! Yes I will send to Canada!

I think that's all the questions thus far....
