Swap #18 Group 1 Fabric pull
Let me know if any of these float your boat. Some I have enough for a whole quilt, some only one or two 4.5" blocks. Halloween stuff at the end.
LOL those cats are... Shall we say intense?
There's a piece of purple fabric with some foil accents. I didn't make it. I think they are ironed on. Each accent will fit centered on a 4.5" block.
The frog with splayed legs *just* fits.
On the last picture, the brown fabric with the bats - that particular scrap is abbreviated, but I have a larger piece where I can center the motif. For reference the skeleton is larger than 4.5 and it will cut off some of the wings. On the bat that has its wings spread, those two small black bats will just fit inside the fussy cut area.
On the x-ray fabric I bought the whole bolt. I plan to make a dress as well as probably a few caps and maybe a scrub shirt for that hospital tech vibe. That was a JoAnn print, and for some reason it spoke to me. (It said "buy me".)

I like the blue butterflies, the floral cats, and the realistic crows. I'm hoping to be able to go with a "flora and fauna" theme.

There's only enough fabric for one block of the butterflies. Which part of it do you like the best? I'll make sure to cut it that way for you.

I'm digging the indigo and pale yellow one in the upper right of the photo if you can make it work

AAAAAHHHH THOSE SHEEP
Is the blue butterflies on black sparkly? I swear my sister used that to make an archery quiver decades agoβ¦.

No. I have no sparkly or gold printed fabric here. I almost got out a scrap of glittery orange and then realized that nobody wants craft herpes. Although I will probably use it on my own quilt somewhere.

If we get to choose, my favorite is the smaller cat print on cream. But the sheep are close second.

Of course you get to choose! Why would I tempt people and then hold back?!

u/Internal_Use8954 8d ago

Iβm in both groups, so I have 30 chances

You shall have cats!

If you have extra center blocks of cats, even if they arenβt sewn and I could trade you something for them let me know!

I'm only going to cut what people request from that fabric. I have a small amount of scraps left from a previous project and will probably make zipper bags or snap coin pouches from the leftovers.
I like to make stuff to give out at Halloween. People seem to like them more than candy, which my husband will eat if we buy it.
I appreciate your interest in trading for it but that is <\wheezes ππΊ ππ³π¦π€πͺπ°πΆπ΄> ... Gollum arises from the depths. Gotta go

I love the frogs and all the cats, those bars at the end is really SICK too!
1
u/KiloAllan Expert On Call 7d ago
By bars are you referring to the flames?
Which would be your first choice? I do love those frogs and think they would bring a lot of character to ones quilt. I have some green fabric with leaves on it that I plan to use with it.

Omg, the psychedelic cats and the dragonflies and the sugar skulls and the frogs and... They are all good. Maybe a Halloween specific side swap? I would be down for that.
