i do the glue thing too.

i also tape the template to my rotary ruler (one on each end so i have both angle sides) and then i can cut everything quickly.

I do the glue thing, but love the tip on taping to my ruler. Never thought of that one.

ok guys here's my fabric combos. i hope to start them next week

Deb watkins

Wow and wow and wow! You could use the second one as the background!!!

fabric_fancy

i wish i could use them for the background but i only have a few FQs of the Fossil Ferns not enough to make 12 blocks.

i wonder if i could make my own fossil fern type fabric - i've never done sun dyeing before - i might give it a try on a 13 inch square and see how it comes out.

would it be ok to use hand dyed fabric in the swap?

i use procion dyes and kaufman kona cotton PFD fabric.

Deb watkins

Just as long as the hand dyed will not run...I know we put alot of time into our quilts and such.....I have not ever used hand dyed fabric, (that I am aware of) so I don't really know what to tell you. Someone else help me along with this....

fabric_fancy

i'm almost done with my blocks. here's the pics - there's 4 of each colorway.

hope you guys like the blocks.


deb - does 2 sets fit into one package with the $4.95 stamp? if so i'll just wait until this swap is ready to ship and you can send me spring and fall at the same time.

Deb watkins

yes, two sets will fit into the FRE. I fold them individually, and that works best. I have the bubble envelopes and they are very nice for these types of swaps. Please make a note in your envelope about sending both spring and fall.....
