Brenni 50 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 I have my backing fabric ready. I need to get these in the mail so I will stop second guessing my choices. I will be sending a DC square for everyone. Mary 1 aktbone reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatSchafer 16 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 I love your backing, Mary. I'm wondering if there is any fabric out there that is essentially a map showing the interstates, etc. Remember those old folding maps we used before the gps. Pat S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeannieB 154 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 Fabric Traditions has a US Map panel that you can find at several places ... might be fun to put on the back ... 2 Brenni and HeidiP reacted to this Blessed, Blissed and Gliding with Millie and QP! www.NoThimbles.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aktbone 74 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 Jeannie, That is the panel I am using for my backs. I love that Alaska and Hawaii are in their respective spots, but Alaska is huge. Just a tad bit of information: You can fit Texas into Alaska 2 times. It is 1/5 the size of the lower 48. Alaska is larger then Texas, California and Montana combined. Impressive! 2 Beachside Quilter and JeannieB reacted to this Sewmazing Grace Edge to edge quilting for all of your love quilts! 2011 Millennium - Circle Lord enhanced!

The Quilted Petal 35 Report post Posted March 10, 2015 I apologize if this has already been addressed but I just wanted to be sure! Are we to prewash fabrics before cutting into squares and mailing or not? Thanks so much! This is my first online fabric swap and my first I Spy quilt and I'm super excited!

The Quilted Petal 35 Report post Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks, Tonilyn. I will pick up my last fabric today (driving to FL to get it, but I thought it was a really fun fact and that was the closest I could find!) My four states will be in the mail tomorrow!!!

chickenscratch 1,136 Report post Posted March 11, 2015 Just to clarify, are we including 50 little strips for each state, with a fun fact? My fabrics are all cut and ready to go.

QuiltGuy 250 Report post Posted March 12, 2015 I thought we were attaching a one line explanation of how our fabric represents our state to Tonilyn and she was collating into a sheet she would e-mail to us. At least that's what it says in the first post... Dave 2013 Millie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chickenscratch 1,136 Report post Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks Dave. I guess I didn't read carefully enough. It's been a long week- state testing at school and I have the read aloud group. 2 aktbone and QuiltGuy reacted to this Sweet T's Custom Quilting Finley, TN (731)-445-6411 sweet_t_quilting@yahoo.com http://sweettsquilting.blogspot.com https://www.facebook.com/SweetTsQuilting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aktbone 74 Report post Posted March 14, 2015 Yes, Dave is correct. Send me, via email, the explanation of why the print(s) represents your state(s). I will collect all of them and mail out when the squares go out. Sewmazing Grace Edge to edge quilting for all of your love quilts! 2011 Millennium - Circle Lord enhanced!

aktbone 74 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 We are waiting on 9 states. If you have not already emailed me with your explanation of your choice of fabric for your state, please do so. Several have sent them with your squares. I don't have time to type all of them out. Cut and paste is my wonderful friend! Amazing - so far we have only 2 matching squares choices. I will let you try to figure out the states before I mail them out.

QuiltyMama 30 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 Wow, that is great...where did you find it? I found it on Etsy. The designer is Krista Hamrick, and I love her art. Might keep an eye on ebay too. This was the only place I found it, and the seller had about 2 yards left. It really is a beautiful piece. 1 QuiltGuy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aktbone 74 Report post Posted March 26, 2015 Most everyone's envelope is in the mail. If you were short on postage I sent you a separate email. I am not being cheap but extra postage adds up when mailing 22 envelopes. I would love to see what is created with the squares. Please post pics here.
