I need the address to send in the fat quarters. If I wait until later in the year I might (probability) forget. I don't trust my memory.

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST SWAP. I AM DEFINITELY IN, IF WE SEND A FEW DO THEY ALL GO IN ONE ENVELOPE WITH CORRECT POSTAGE? ONE RETURN FOR SAME AMT? DO I NEED TO SAY HOW MANY AHEAD OR JUST COLLECT WHEN SOMETHING CATCHES MY EYE? I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY MISTAKES YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE QUILT POLICE WILL BE WATCHING !

Yes, they all go in the same envelope with the correct postage. And yes for the return. You do not have to say how many and yes, just collect when something catches your eye. :thumbup:

Blessings!

OK........ We have had a few concerns about not having enough international swappers. Also, some of the countries do not have manufacturers in their own countries. (you know that a lot of the fabrics in the USA are now made overseas anyway) NOW..... how about if we (everyone - USA and ALL the other wonderful countries) send fabrics from our own areas! That way if we have fabrics made in our countries we can swap them. If we don't have fabrics made in our countries, we can swap the fabrics that we have in our areas!! Either way, it will be fabrics from around the world!!!! Let me know what you think!! I think we would be able to get more international swapper this way too! I will wait to hear from you all until Wednesday and then I will decide whether or not to change it on the activity page.

Blessings!

Sounds great to me. I think either way it will be so much fun, just think of all the F4's well get and the surprises of the different colors and patterns.
