let's get swapping.

This is what I woke up to on April third, yes snow.

Not just snow but this yucky blowing snow than stuck to everything. I guess that is what they mean by spring in Utah, you see yesterday it was 78 degrees.  Today snow and 38 degrees.

It's OK, see it is already melting, but it is spring and we should be thinking of things like...

Rainbows!!

What could be more fun then fabric rainbows.

These are the left overs from this quilt.

Like I said in this post, I entered a color charm swap back in January. Some of my friends want me to do a swap of my own. So here we go.

Because she is fabulous we will be using Care's instructions.

THE BASICS:Mail 200 squares to me by April 23 Get 200 squares back, April 30 all different, 

 THE DETAILS:

Cut twenty 4" squares from ten different fabrics. A quarter yard of fabric or a fat quarter will get you 20 4" squares. You will be purchasing a totally of 2 1/2 yards of fabric. This is nothing when you think about all the different fabrics you will be getting back.

 Also Joann is going to have their fat quarters on sale April 10 for .99

WHAT!

 It is true so if you are on a budget this is the swap for you. 

Just a reminder that we are doing a color charm swap. We want fabrics that when you look at them you know what color you are looking at. Here are some examples of what not to do.

This is NOT green

This is NOT orange

and finally this is NOT yellow.

  Since it is spring we want spring colors.

So this is what we are going to do. There are 10 colors total. There are to be twenty people in the swap

So that means that there are two people for each color.

These are your choices

Red (sorry both spaces are gone)

Pink (both spaces are gone)

Orange (both spaces are gone)

Yellow (both spaces are taken)

Kelly green (one space taken)

Lime green (one space taken)

Blue (both are gone)

Aqua (both are taken)

Purple (both purple spaces gone)

Fuchsia/hot pink (both are taken)

 It looks like we are full so we are going to try for group 2

I will leave this open till the end of the week or until the second group is full

If you know someone who might want to play tell them all about it.

So here is the plan, if you want to play leave a comment, with your color choice and your email.

Look through the comments and make sure that you are not choosing one that is already taken.

I will check back and edit the choices.

I am going to do this again in the fall, with fall colors if you would like to wait until then.

The deadline is going to be April 23, That way you have three weeks to buy your fabric and mail it to me.

 (I will email you those details.)

Also you will get in on the Joann sale.

If everyone gets me their fabric on time, I will mail them back to you by the 30th.

Then if you are awesome you can have your rainbow quilt done in time for summer picnics.

So if you are in leave a comment with your color choice, and your email.

The first 16 people are in, but if we have a demand for it we will add another group.

Come on you know you want to.

We are full please go here to enter swap 2

Thanks for playing.
