Did we ever decide on a Twist theme for the next swap? I plan to go shopping on Friday, as I have a gift card to spend

If anyone is interested, I am also hosting an I Spy swap, though not on QB. For details, go to http://librarylilnc.blogspot.com/ It's a little different from this one, but still 5" I Spy squares.

Let's go for February on the next swap. The twist will be girls. So anything you would put in a girls I Spy Quilt. Then we will have another swap in April and the twist will be boys. So it could be super heroes or whatever you would put in a boys quilt.
Also it will be 10 per baggie on the regular swap and the twist. I am thinking about having like having up to 12 baggies for the regular and like maybe up to 10 baggies for the twist. This way it would give more variety. Looking for new fabric is always welcome but understand if you need to shop your stash and we seen it old fabric before.. This swap is open to everyone.

Over the weekend I will get the rules written up so we can start the sign ups.

Happy New Years!

Sounds good Owlie. I will see what I can come up with. Glad there's time. I need to shop for new fabric.

Works for me, too. I know this is weird, but I haven't done any before so please tell me again about "the twists". Thanks for your patience.......:>)

For the twist you have to join the regular swap first with at least 2 baggies. Then for the twist you can join and do how many baggies you desire up to the max. The twist is usually a certain thing. Like for the the next swap twist is about girls. So you will put only girl fabric for the twist. I am doing 10 - 5 inch blocks in each baggie up to 10 sets i believe. You will not use any fabric in the twist baggies for the regular swap and vice versa. You can have 10 of the same fabric in each baggie or 10 different. But as long as there is only 10 of the same fabric all together.
