Description:

Are you up to your ears in fabric scraps? Does your stash just keep growing........Lets clean it out and organize our scraps of fabric we just love so much. Lets cut them up into 4 usable sizes.

Lets start by cutting our fabric into the following sizes... 10" x10" squares....6" x 6" squares....4.5" x 4.5" and lastly 2.5" x width of fabric (43" -44")

In this swap you will have 2 partners and will send them each.... 5/ 10"squares and 5/ 2.5" x 44" strips of fabric and 10/ 6" squares and 10/4.5" squares of fabric.

p.s. You can also cut your smaller scraps to 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" squares and strips and save them for your use.

Hopefully all the fabric will come from your scrap stash so there should be no spending other than postage. Lets have fun and make room for more FABRIC!!!!

I'e begun my scrap therapy and am getting inspired ....I'm going to make a scrappy quilt and some purses out of my ready cut scrap stash.

Let's motivate and inspire each other by sharing our ideas. Share your ideas using the Comment section below.

To summarize the swap ...You will have 2 partners and will send them each 5/ 10"squares and 5/ 2.5" x 44" strips of fabric and 10/ 6" squares and 10/4.5" squares of fabric. You must send at least 5 different prints!

Wish this were a USA only swap. Getting expensive to send more than a letter overseas. But will watch.

I'm hoping this is 100% cotton only fabric(s)??

Lets try to keep this swap at !00% cotton since that is what most of us quilters use the most. thanx for bringing that up Lovetoquilt2

Love the idea-will definitely watch for now since I am at my limit. Just a question tho - haven't seen 4.5" squares swapped very often.....what kinds of things are they used for? I dont suppose that there's any chance that it could be changed to 5" charm squares. That's one of my favorite swaps.

I use 4.5" squares in 12" nine patch variation blocks and patchwork purses/bags also makes for a cute lap rag quilt.
