here is the link for the yahoo postage stamp group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/postagestampquilts/ .
also i keep my leftover cut swapping squares in a large plastic zipper bag (think bed sheet packaging) so i can see what i have cut and sent before. there are always new swaps, new groups, new participates joining so i do not worry quite so much with dups. plus as quilters we know how to make things work for us and can certainly make a new project with any dups or start another psq for that matter.:thumbup:

Hi Ladies, In what group on Yahoo are you swapping ps squares? I've been using my Accuquilt for cutting the squares using the 1 1/2" strip die and it really works well...now I have a whole bunch of squares left over...most of which have been used in this current swap...How do you keep track of the ones used and not used?

I cut out scraps as I make things during the weeks, and I have a bin of 1 1/2"strips that I can cut into when I need to. I keep a large bin of my squares, and I have a smaller bin, where I put all of my squares to swap with others. For this last swap, I was amazed that I already had enough cut out from just my projects, and I didn't have to cut any out at the time of the swap.. I just counted and bagged them. And that was for 30 sets! I think I've turned into a factory!

Hi, I have taken a photo of most of the stamps I sent out cause I still have a bunch of each and don't want to send out repeats for the next one...Will there be another one soon?... is it okay to have Holiday stamps in the mix? I signed up for the Yahoo swap...Honchey

Sign ups are coming soon......just need to let this one finish first. Holiday prints are fine too~

I love the idea of holiday stamps. I'm Jewish, and wouldn't buy the Christmas holiday fabrics for myselff, but still would love to include them in my quilt. For some reason I have been really lucky in getting scraps from all over, and can't wait to share them with everybody.

Hi, Honchey. I always keep a baggie of each swap for myself. This allows me to keep track of what I have sent out and gives ME more stamps. The ones I haven't yet used remain in my sorting ice cube trays.
