What size Worm?
#1
A friend was talking about us doing a 2.5" Worm Swap in another group. So, my question is, What should be the length? She says 2.5" x WOF. But someone else suggests 2.5" times 1/2 the WOF, so that a FQ can be used. What is your opinions?

In doing a Google search for Worm quilt swap, I found a book titled, "Open a Can of Worms". It had this description:
What is a worm? Author Debbie Caffrey explains it's a strip of fabric that is 2.5 inches wide. Sew dozens of beautiful, scrappy quilts simply & very quickly. Start cutting 2.5 in strips now!
I had never heard of this swap either. We always called it a strip swap.

never used worms but IMHO if someone wanted to participate in a worm swap they would want strips ready to sew. If worms were 2x WOF then there would be more cutting once they rec'd them.
If someone wants FQ, they should join a FQ swap.

Depending on the goal of the swap, you could get more variety, and perhaps more people participating. Just make sure they cut the FQ's in the correct orientation. ;) Sounds like fun.

Can you tell I hadn't had my coffee yet & I read the original post incorrectly? :oops:
