What do you think?

I've been considering setting up a swap - just a simple one, for starters.  The idea is that you send your swap partner/s three coordinating strips of 100% cotton fabric,  3in x 42/44in (44in being the entire width of the fabric, most cotton and quilting material seems to come that wide) which can be used to make a block for a small Rail Fence quilt,or a Log Cabin pillow, perhaps.  Or whatever other crafty project you might like, of course.

So my questions are:

1. Do you think it's a good idea, in principle?
2. Should I do it as a private swap on Swap-bot, i.e. I've got to supply the password to anyone who is interested and contacts me, or put it on there as a public one? (anyone got any tales to tell about being a Swap Bot coordinator?)
3. How many people would you be happy sending to - 1, 2 or 3?
4. I reckoned 3in wasn't too much of anyone's stash to part with - is it wide enough though?

Please do let me know what you think, I'd really appreciate your feedback - thanks girls!

Three posts in one day, you are on a roll. I would be interested in a fabric swap, and I think two or three strips would be best - that way you end up with enough different bits to make something.

This sounds like fun. Something to look forward to after the holidays. I assume you meant after the holidays anyway...
I would definitely be interested in a swap like this.

Hi, I really enjoyed my look around your blog, I found it in a link from *dollydaydream* My name is Sheila, I live in France, and I think your swap idea is great, I would like to join in if I may, I think two or three strips are a good idea.
Cheers Sheila

It sounds great to me - are relative novices welcome? ;)

I'd be a novice patchworker too, and have really wanted to try, this could be a perfect opportunity, so yep, I'd be well up for it.

Hi, I'm another novice but i have been fancying making a log cabin cuhion for ages so maybe this is the ideal time for me to join a swap!
