Thank you Kass and Janice. This does answer my question. I would wash FQ and check for shrinkage, and send the correct amt. I’ll look at some of the pictures from previous booms for ideas.

Thanks mjp - great information

Great fabrics, Maude! I will be sending this one to one of the groups... with some small color samples from paint chips, to help folks "see" the colors I see in the fabric.

D.Henson, be sure to wash your yardage before cutting the F8s, so you don't have excessive raveling.

Is this going to be a charity quilt also?

The floral I am thinking has this same tones of blue / green but a white background.

D.Henson

Sewbizgirl, thanks! Love your idea of sending paint chips along with your fabrics. . Your fabric is beautiful!

Thanks D.Henson!

Kass, haven't decided where that quilt will end up. Good possibility it will be donated... or given as a gift. Can't wait to see your fabric.

I was curious b/c to me the fabric print (and even colors) had a modern / oriental feel maybe even a touch masculine, so was thinking you might have had a specific person in mind for this one.

I have another newbie question. I don't normally prewash my fabric. If I use fabric from my stash, does it have to be prewashed?

Kassaundra

This is a QB requirement for all swaps. I am also a non prewasher for myself.
