Join in swapping tone-on-tone fat quarters (FQ) every
month and add variety to your stash! Choose
your
favorite color and swap those months only, or sign
up
for several months and build up your stash in colors
you’re low on!
FABRIC: Plaids, stripes, florals, solids, batiks,
geometrics, anything as long as it’s tone-on-tone
(shades of ONE color only), or any neutral -on-tone
(black, brown, white, gray, silver, or gold-on-tone)
where the neutral is not the predominant color of
the
fabric. FQs are 18”x22”, must be 100% cotton and
preferably pre-washed (please label them if they are
unwashed).

and label with your name and e-mail address.
You may
send up to 12 FQs, but no more than 4 of one fabric.
Feel free to mail more than one month at a time.
Please e-mail me when you send your fabrics so I can
be on the look-out for them!
DEADLINE: Envelopes must be in my hands no later than
the first of the month. (i.e. purple due July
1) No
exceptions, sorry. I will swap the FQs and mail
them
back out to you by the 5th.
POSTAGE: Please include a return SASE for me to send
your fabrics back in (same size and same postage as
what you’re mailing me). Please use stamps on
your
return envelope, not metered mail. Tyvek envelopes
are durable, lightweight, and FREE at the post office!
On the outside of both envelopes, please write
“tone-on-tone swap” and the number of FQs you’re
sending. Please e-mail me for my s-mail address.
QUESTIONS? E-mail
me! I look forward to swapping
with you!
