All Nations Square Swap - SEND NOW!

Hi!

Thought it would be fun to have an international square swap -- that is, fabric representing different countries/cultures around the world. Great conversation starter for the kids, and gets them thinking about how others live.

Squares need to be 100% cotton, pre-washed, ironed, and cut in 6.5" squares. Ship date is October 20. Be sure an include SASE for return of your squares.

Each space is for a total of 30 squares, either 15 squares of 2 fabrics, or 30 squares of one (for those of you who already bought fabric).

If you need some inspiration, check these out:
ethnic fabrics
Egypt fabrics
Australian fabrics
Native American fabrics
Oriental fabrics
African fabrics

Hmm, this one's a toughy, not much in my stash that will work lol. Can I have 1 spot please? I have a really cool fabric with kanjis that I think will work.

And thanks for the link. I'm drooling over the hex symbols. I may have to pick some up when I can buy fabric again.

I was assuming 1 square per slot (with 30 participants), but we'll have to wait and see what the final count is....

Okay, I was confused because you only had 10 slots listed at first. I'd like three total.

I will do Southwestern Pueblo, Japanese Hachi Pots and Paris Fashion.

If you sign up for one spot, you will have to send enough squares for each other participant. Meaning, if we have 30 people participate, you will need to send in 30 squares. You can generally get 30 squares from 1 yard of fabric, if that helps.....

If we don't have enough people to make a full quilt, how does everyone feel about sending in 15 of two different fabrics per slot? We could still squeak by with about 1/2 yd of each fabric and at least then we would have 30 different squares!
