Welcome to the last round of Color Square Swap! Our summer edition is a chance to swap basic blender fabrics in Red, Navy, and Aqua! Make sure you are capable of abiding by all guidelines before signing up. I've included some examples of fabrics that would work for this swap. Here's the link to sign up. Feel free to spread the word!
Swap Requirements:
1. You must have a PUBLIC Instagram account for the duration of the swap to participate.
2. Choose a basic blender fabric in 100% quilting quality cotton (it may have minimal amounts of other colors, but it should read solid. See below for examples).
3. Post your fabric choice to the applicable hashtag (#REDsquareswap2, #NAVYsquareswap2, or #AQUAsquareswap2) and #colorsquareswap. I will comment on your post. DO NOT PURCHASE FABRIC UNTIL I HAVE APPROVED YOUR FABRIC CHOICE. Your fabric choices must be posted to the hashtag by MAY 31st.
4. Purchase 3 yards of each color and cut fabric into 40 10" squares.
5. Ship fabric to Briawna Hugh no later than June 10th. Fabric received after June 14th will not be sorted and will be returned to sender.
6. Pay for return shipping. Return shipping is $10 per person (I'm factoring in time to organize and sort fabric, cost of shipping labels, and postage into this shipping fee). Participants will not be able to split shipping costs this round, because I can only fit 3 layer cakes in a Flat Rate Envelope. Shipping costs must be paid by MAY 31st in order to participate. Send your shipping fee via PAYPAL "friends and family" to briawna.hugh@gmail.com
You will receive your layer cake(s) back by June 25th. Once the swap is full, I'll send out a welcome email with my shipping address.
**FABRIC SPONSOR ALERT! Quilter's Square has offered 25% off yardage purchased for this swap. I will include the discount code with your confirmation email. Make sure you check out their website (quilterssquareky.com) and Instagram account (@quilterssquare) for some serious eye candy!
Red: feel free to use any shade from burgundy to a true Cardinal red. Patterns should be minimal and either tone on tone or a little white. Patterns should be on a small repeat. A good rule of thumb is that the pattern should repeat every 3-5".
Navy: colors can range from Royal to true navy. Again, make sure patterns are minimal.
Aqua: Aqua has a little more variety to it. Anything from turquoise to a dark mint will work for the swap. Make sure patterns are minimal.
Cutting Tips:
This is how I cut my 3 yards of fabric. I usually end up with a 10-12" leftover.
First I fold the fabric in half, leaving the fold in place. When I cut, I'm cutting through four layers of fabric. I square up my edge and cut 5 10"x WOF strips. Because my fabric is folded, I'm actually cut 10 10" strips.
From each strip set, I cut off the selvage first.
Then I measure down 10" and cut a square. Repeat again for a second 10" square. From each strip, I can get 4 10" squares. So, 10 strips = 40 10" squares. Please cut carefully and accurately. Inaccurate cuts will be returned.
I can't wait to see your beautiful fabric!

ReplyDeleteTo apply this pressure, an inner threaded ring replica watches similar to the inner case back on a Milgauss is used to clamp the rings and movement in place. Because patents are written to cover as broad a set of claims as possible, Rolex also includes an example where the two movement rings are compressed against each other by the normal single case rolex replica sale back alone. Implementing this change does mean production changes for Rolex beyond using the inner case and flange screws. Rolex swiss replica watches needs a gap between case and movement for these two movement rings to occupy. In larger cases like Milgauss this shouldn't be any trouble. In smaller cases like the 36mm replica watches uk Datejust, this may represent a problem. There does not appear to be any room between the case and movement to fill. Rolex replica watches will either have to use this invention on larger case watches or rolex replica sale create a movement smaller in diameter.
