TEXT Me a Charn Swap: Canadian Edition

It looks like there is enough interest to run a Canadian Edition of the TEXT Me A Charm Swap. Leona gave us permission to use her format, so let's make it happen.

But as you probably know, I am TERRIBLE at making decisions. So I need some help. Here are the two options for the swap:

Option A: Everyone buys 1 yard/metre, and cuts into 56 squares. We'd aim for 28 swappers, so everyone would get 56 charms, 2 of each print.

Option B: Everyone buys 2 half yards/metres, and cuts each into 24 squares. We'd aim for 24 swappers and everyone would get 48 different charms.

Which one suits you best???

Thanks for your help.

A Wonky Quilt and a new Swap

Hello Friends! And Happy February. How is it already February? And time to set goals for A Lovely Year of Finishes. As you probably could have guessed, I didn't actually get my quilt top done for January. But I did get all of the blocks made. So it I'm carrying it forward for February.

Maple Leaf Rag Quilt - all the blocks are finally finished!

 My goal for February is to get my Maple Leaf quilt top and backing finished. I've actually started sewing a few of the blocks together, and it is one wonky quilt. The wonkiest I've ever made. And it isn't supposed to be a wonky quilt. Oh well. I'm just going to go for it.

And I am so excited to be in a new swap on flickr. Since it was a US only swap, I was so excited when Leona let me participate. (Never mind that I begged :)) But Katy and I were thinking that maybe we could start up our own Canadian Edition. What do you think? Do you want to swap some text charms?

Fabric for TEXT me a charm swap

We are thinking that we will aim for 28 Canadian swappers. If we all buy 2 half metres of fabric, we can swap 56 charms. What do you think? Any interest?

It is beautiful and sunny here! I'm off to enjoy the sunshine. Enjoy your day
