My squishy came today, Yahooooo! They look great and so much fun. I love novelty prints and these are wonderful. Thank you very much ladies. They are all going into charity quilts very soon. I just can't make enough of them............it's what I do!

I got my charms today! Yeah!! They all look so great! Thanks again, Lynn! By the way, this was my first swap and I think I forgot to put my name on my baggies and tell you that they are unwashed (except for the green fabric that has gelatin molds, mixers & blenders on it...if you happened to get one of those charms it was washed). Thanks everybody!

hmmmm I didn't label that mine were washed either...since all of the fabric was from my stash left over from other I SPY Quilts. Mine are labeled sewcarolyn on the baggie and they have 3 charms in each. I can't describe the fabrics since there were few repeats.
sorry for forgetting to label..this was also my 1st swap...wow there are alot of newbies here!

YIPPEE SKIPPY! I got my "I Spy" blocks today and what a wonderful variety! Thanks so much, everyone! Also, a big THANK YOU to Lynn for a job well done! Can hardly wait to get a project started with all this fun fabric! ~Marcia
PS My fabric was washed also! As a 'newbie' in the swapping world, I forgot to let you all know!

Here are pictures I took before sorting. I also had 8 sets of charms on a different table and some up on the sideboard in the dining room!

I received mine yesterday and they are wonderful. I think if I mix them with some solid squares, I might have enough to make a small quilt for both my grandson and granddaughter. Thanks everyone.

Yay! Mine came! I love the variety. This will be a fun quilt to put together. I can't begin to imagine how much organizing Lynn had to do to make stacks of boy, girl, and boy-or-girl slippery baggies! Thanks, Lynn!!!

Who sent the Mardi Gras fabric? When I opened that one to get a better look at the charms, I must have lost a paper label with the person's name who sent the charms. I want to be sure to remember everyone who helped me put together my I Spy quilt!

Oh, and this was just my second swap, and I forgot to label my charms as washed. (My home ec. teacher always said to wash fabric as soon as you get it home so you don't forget if you washed it or not, so that's what I do.)

Mine came yesterday. The prints are so cute! I forgot to label the ones I sent as being washed--they are the starships on dark blue and the soccar balls on green. The recipe looks yummy--thanks Lynn!!!

Does everyone have a pattern in mind already for these great fabrics? I've been trying to figure out what pattern to use for my I Spy quilt and I came across this website with free patterns-many of the patterns could be used for an I Spy and they use 6 1/2 inch squares too...perfect!! I'm leaning toward the I Spy pattern, but there are a couple others that I like too. I may end up making several I Spy quilts.
