There is a thread on the group activities that gives you all the details. We swap sets. A swap consists of 50 squares from 50 different fabrics. You can swap up to 15 sets. If there is a lot of interest we can talk about increasing the set limit.

So if you are ready to cut, cut, and cut send me a PM.

Sorry I can't find the thread that gives the details. Could you please post the link? Thanks :)

To those of us who are new to this concept of round robins, can you explain what is going on in case some of us are interested but unsure of what is required when we sign up for one of these.

I participated in the last 1.5" swap...I had so much fun going through all of the baggies that I received....this is a great way to increase your stash and to add variety...the only problem that I have had is that I have found several pieces of fabric that I love so much that I would like to find more of the fabric in yardage....oh well. I will be participating in this swap also...I have started sewing the previous group into "twosies" using Bonnie Hunter's leaders and enders technique....

Thank you Missi for making this possible and for all of your hard work on our account....you are greatly appreciated by this quilter....

So is it an issue if none of my scraps have been prewashed?

Perfect! I've been working on my postage stamp quilt, using the squares as leaders and enders for my other projects. I need more squares!

The scraps I will be cutting from are too small for me to prewash so I hope it's not an issue either!

With the last swap it was agreed upon that washing/not washing was up to the sender....I am not a prewasher......the majority of fabrics that came to me were not prewashed so please do not let this be a factor in deciding whether to join or not to join.....
