Questions to those who have done the swaps---
So how many squares do you send in??
What size squares?
Do you enclose return postage or an SASE?
How many people do you need to do the swap?
Im interested in hosting but need some info..

The last one the I was in each swapper sent 3 sets of 40 5inch squares. So 120 squares total. 3 fabrics all together. I believe that it was closed at 40 swappers. Then after the host(ess) did the swapping you were mailed back 120 5inch squares with 120 different fabrics (well a few duplicates maybe :0) It was a lot of fun. I am just finishing my top and that's what prompted me to want to do another one. Hopefully get it done by the holidays.

I was in the last "I Spy" swap and really enjoyed it. I haven't made my quilt yet, but it is on the list to do before Christmas. If there is another swap, I would love to join it. Any excuse to buy more cute fabric is good with me!!:mrgreen:
I sent in extra squares to help the hostess out. People who flake on swaps can ruin it for everyone. I don't mind if the host is a "meanie" when it comes to enforcing the rules. The last swap I did was the 2 1/2 strip swap. She was firm with the rules and awesome with the communication and that made a wonderful swap experience.

As for shipping, I use the large bubble mailers, place blocks in a Ziplock bag first, take the same size bubble mailer and address it back to me, I have clerk weigh all, then add the same amount of postage on the return mailer as the one going out, fold and place it inside with the bag of fabrics. That way, it does not end up short on postage. Have never had a problem yet. Oh, tape the end shut, just in case.
