Time to celebrate fall and harvest!

Once again, single theme fabrics celebrating autumn. (I'd prefer all leaves, but I'm open to other suggestions.)
6.5 inch squares - 30 per fabric
PRE-WASHED fabric, please
Let's try and ship by September 15 so we can sew in autumn, not winter.

Please send a SASE or postage for a flat rate priority envelope with your squares.
Also - some of the most helpful things from the last swap I hosted - send your squares inside a ziplock storage bag with your name/address/ and number of sets written on it. This helps with sorting immensely. Also - a couple of the envelopes were torn in shipping to me last time - the one with the plastic bag held together much better!

I'd like two spots please

Dannielle · 08-16-2006, 01:03 PM

just squares of leafy autumn-ish fabric, right? ...not piecing or applique or anything fancy, right?

If I've got it right, I'd like 2 spots, also, please

copmom · 08-16-2006, 02:05 PM

Gotcha both! Yes - just plain squares - no work aside from the cutting.
All the embellishing can wait until after you receive your squares.

Can I have 3 slots please?

Dannielle · 08-16-2006, 05:04 PM

did anyone else do the math? I've figured that I should be able to get 30 squares out of 1yd of 44/45" fabric. Am I correct?

Two slots for me, please.

I've always been able to get 30 squares out of one yard. HOWEVER, that is *only* if I'm not fussy-cutting. If I need to get a certain part of the fabric on center (ie eagles or zebras when I was cutting for ABC quilts), then I always buy extra. I'm sorry I can't remember whether I bought a whole yard extra, or only 1/2 yard. I think what I did with the zebras was ask the cutter at Joann's to help me figure it out.

I don't even know why I'm saying this. Because most likely, with a leaf pattern, you aren't fussy-cutting. Right?

Must be due to my increased wordiness of late.
