You will love the swap. These swaps are so much fun. Someone elses fabrics are always way cooler then the ones we own.

Good morning quilters!

WELCOME Gayle'sQuilts (12), mburdell (12), KathyM (5) and nursebonnie (12). Remember to send your signup info if you didn't already.

CBRIDGES22 - fabric is 2 1/2" wide by Width of Fabric (WOF) which usually is between 41 and 44". Leave the selvages ON.

LovinMySoldier - NO specific color. Please read #6 on the instructions about what NOT to send.

Getting the bags together should be really easy.
Cut fabric (use pieces ## inches wide, use yardage, fabric you would love to get),
Place 1 strip on each pile and when you have 5 different fabrics in 1 pile it's done.
The piles do not have to be identical.
Don't duplicate a fabric in a pile. Don't put a fabric in more than 12 piles.
(Don't want to confuse anyone - but you may make an extra pile and keep it for yourself. :) )

OK, just want to be sure I understand correctly. The 12 piles is what has me confused... Each bag has a total of 5 WOF strips of washed fabrics all different from each other, so 4 bags would be 20 strips.
And yes I do want to participate.

Please count me in. I'm not sure how many bags yet, but I will post on that as it gets closer to mailing time. This will be my first swap. Thanks so much for coordinating this, quiltinghere! I'm already excited to see what will come back to me.
