moonrise

I'm up now. Yawn! PM sent to join, max # of sets. I bought my orange fabrics a few weeks ago, since I had very little in my stash. I'm not sure why, because orange quilts can be very striking!

dj, send me the white with orange flowers and green vines. Looks 80% to me (because I am Blind) lol. no, really, I love that print....it is so delicate....and with the pink/coral , it makes your block a real beauty........Jane

Squares are cut and ready to mail! Is it a good time to go ahead and send them, or should I wait until after Labor Day?

Redstilettos, cover your eyes! Don't read the next paragraph! tee hee

(whispering) It's not a requirement, of course, but if possible, let's include a "little extra something" in our mailers for our swap hostess, for all her time and effort involved in hosting. A fat quarter, some extra charms, some jelly roll strips, small handmade items, etc. all make fun hostess gifts!

Okay, Red. You can uncover your eyes now. LOL!

LOL moonrise, you just totally cracked me up.

But on that note, NO gifts are required. I really just do this to make friends and to make our quilting lives fun and exciting. Because sometimes petting fabric isn't enough for me. LOL

I think a lot of people are on board to not include Halloween fabric. I, personally, don't have any, but wouldn't care if I did, but do understand people that don't. This is really up to you whether or not you want to participate, but Jane did bring up a good point of none of the swaps indicated holiday fabric. So...your choice. I hope you join, but totally understand if you don't want to.

I have to go to the store for more orange if I want to participate. What am I talking about. Of course I want to! Again...petting fabric. SO much better than an antidepressant pill! LOL

Have a great day ladies!

I'm in! Thanks for letting me know what y'all would be sending...helped me decide. This past year I have grown to love orange and have bought a bunch. Just didn't want to trade pretties for holiday stuff I wouldn't use.
Dj, I like the scroll fabric in your 3rd block.

redstilettos

I love that scroll, too. Yummy!

I bought all my material yesterday. I never realized how many beautiful shades of orange there are. Cut them this weekend and get them out.

OK, I'm in as long as the holiday is at a minimum or nil. I was just betting that the next color was going to be Red. I was so sure of it! I stocked up! Oh well, now I have to go shopping again.

Is this orange too white or should I include it?
