Those "sweet" fabrics *are* pretty hard to find, aren't they!? I have actually seen way more flannel candy fabric than quilting cotton... (Has anyone ever done a flannel swap on here before? I wonder if there would be interest in that?) I can't wait to see your choices!!
So far, there is a nice variety in what has been sent---- small print vs. large print, bright vs. pastel, etc! I think this well probably be one of my favorite quilts when it gets made!While shopping for the fabrics, I keep seeing other things that I want to do a jar quilt with, and dreaming up new swaps! I saw some adorable Russian nesting doll fabric the other day--- how about a "Souvenier Jar Quilt", with each jar representing a different country!
Of course there's always the bug quilt.. I like the idea from the link that Jean posted-- everyone sends in a print for a jar that represents something that they'd like to "give" everyone else-- like clocks representing "more time", or hearts representing "love", etc. Or how about an ABC Jar Quilt, with every jar representing a letter of the alphabet... Or just simply a "Things you would find in a jar" quilt with stuff like stamps, marbles, buttons, coins, etc... And, I've got tons of Halloween fabric, and was thinking that a "Witches Kitchen" quilt with jars of bats, skeletons, eyeballs, etc would be so cute for Halloween! My mind works over-time sometimes!
