QnT Sweet 16's #4 Green

--a sweet 16 is a 9"X21-22" cut of 100% cotton quilting fabric

So, how do you buy (or select from your stash) Sweet 16's for this series of swaps? You get 1/4 yard cuts of 4 different fabrics then cut each of those 1/4 yard pieces in half leaving you with two 9"X21-22" cuts of beautiful fabric from each 1/4 yard piece. Send your partner one SWEET 16 from each of the 4 different prints and keep the other SWEET 16's from each 1/4 yard for yourself.

We will have several of these Sweet 16's swaps this year and each one will be with a different theme or color option to choose from.

I found some fun books at the library that are full of patterns and quilt blocks made from Sweet 16 cuts of fabric.

Summary:

--1 partner

--4 green print Sweet 16's (that's 4 different pieces of 9"X21-22" cuts of 100% cotton quilting fabric)

CLARIFICATION: one partner to receive from you 4 DIFFERENT print Sweet 16's. You will also get to keep a matching set of SWEET 16's for yourself. Note: a 1/4 yard of fabric cut in half equals two 9"X22" pieces or two SWEET 16's. Send one of each to your partner and keep the other for yourself.

Questions are welcome, please don't be shy and post them below!

Swap-on!

next month will be PURPLE

be watching for next month after for PINKS or YELLOWS (senders choice) or a mixture of both

FYI, I am going a bit nuts for batiks. If you happen to have green batiks, I would love them!

Just to clarify, this is the same as a fat eighth cut right? I'm just confused over the terminology

MamaMay 04/ 7/2013 #

No, a fat 8 th is cut the other direction link

thank you @MamaMay for your link

if you buy a 1/4 yard cut of fabric it will be 9" X 44", if you cut that in half you will have two pieces at 9"X22" or two Sweet 16's.

beadqueene 04/11/2013 #

see I was confused because this link says a fat eighth is 9"x22", also at the bottom of your link @mamamay it says that you can cut a fat eighth either direction...

MamaMay 04/12/2013 #

I think you are right @beadqueene So I guess we are miss naming the swap.

Hey, lets make this easy....regardless of what you call them the cuts of fabric you send should be 9"X 22" and there should be four different prints
