This post is just to gauge interest in participants for a bug jar fabric
swap. If there is, I'll post the official swap next week.
The way I've done swaps in the past is get 20 people (I'm one of them) who
each buy 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 yards of an appropriate fabric... cut it into 8 x 10
inch pieces (excluding selvage).
Then everyone ships their fabric stacks to me... I deal them out and send
them back to you -- except instead of a stack of the same fabric... you get
a stack of 20 different fabics!
What I did with the candy jar swap was had participants email me a picture
or a link to the fabric they had purchased -- then I posted a picture of
that fabric online -- so our participants could check to see what was
already purchased... so they could look for something different. I've done
a couple of swaps and we've been fortunate to NOT have multiple identical
fabrics! WOOHOO!!!
So if you would be interested in participating... just post here. You could
join as 1 person... or if you wanted more than 1 set of squares... just sign
up as 2 or 3 (or whatever) and send the same number of sets of fabric
stacks.
Does all that make sense?
If there is sufficient interest... I'll start the swap next week and we'll
set the due date early to mid October -- so you could get your squares and
have your quilt ready for Christmas if you work fast!
So post back if you would be interested in the swap -- and could get your
fabric and squares to me in the next month once we officially (if we
officially) open the swap.
Thanks!!

I'd be interested too, my 4 year old would love a creepy-crawly quilt. That
is assuming that you're happy to take overseas participants?
