I'm so glad you all are interested in scrapping with me. It always takes a bit of courage to put an idea out there, so thanks for your receptive comments.
I thought for our first project we could each make a charm quilt! I can't think of a better way to use a random assortment of scraps. Just to add a fun twist, let's swap some squares to use in our charm quilts. That way we can get to know each other a bit *and* we'll get to check out each others scrap stash. I thought we could model our charm quilts after this baby quilt of mine. It's not a charm quilt, but it easily could be.
Here is how to participate:

Here is how to participate:
1) Send me an email with your name, mailing and email address. You can email me here.
2) Send 10 3 inch (7.6 cm) squares to EACH person participating (I'll provide a list of names and addresses)
3) Use the squares you receive and some from your own stash (if you desire) to construct a charm quilt. It can be as small or as large as you want.
4) Have fun!

Love this idea, but I don't know how to make a quilt so have fun and be sure to post some pictures everyone!
I sadly don't have a big enough stash to participate :( I would love to see pictures too
I'm going to start measuring and cutting now... I guess I should get the iron out too!
I want to get back into sewing and what a wonderful way to do so!
OH I really want to do this!sharla.palmer@gmail....
my little gems :0
I would love to participate. I'm not a quilter (I've made ONE). My question is...do the squares have to be perfectly square? I'm pretty sure I can make them mostly straight. So...that means we'd have to have at least ten different fabrics right? I'd really love to make another quilt and hopefully get tips on how to do a better job next time!
i would so love to participate. I am a bit dim but can't seem to email you! i don't use my outlook address for emails. is it possible for you to email me with your email address? does this make sense??!!brocchi111@hotmail.com

How many people are participating? If I know how many I can determine if I have enough scrap. Please email me at beckyataylor@gmail.com.
Thanks!
This sounds soooo fun. How many are taking part so far? I want to make sure I have plenty of suares and plenty of time to get everything together and in the mail! I will email you as well.

I would love to take part in this, but I'm scared I'll have to cut 600 squares! Any idea how many people will be involved?
I would like to do this also! I have been quilting for awhile so I have a very large stash that needs using. Will this be a one time exchange or a monthly one?
This sounds like great fun! I know what you mean about moving scraps! I have moved scraps between houses at least 5 times! I am looking forward to the day I will be free!!! cocotish@hotmail.com
I'd like to play. May I ask how many folks you have on board so I know what I'd be in for? It's a great idea. Thanks.
Hi! Just found your blog and loved it. During my weekend i decided to make a quilt and today i found your blog and this fund quilt project. I'm in Portugal so if you want to count me in i'll be happy to quilt along!
Take care.
