Online Fabric Swap

In December 2023 I joined a red and white fabric swap hosted by @redrainbootshandmade on Instagram. I sent in (5) 1 yard cuts of fabric, cut into (56) 5" squares and received 70 (4 of each print) in return. This is what I sent in.


I made this quilt that I posted about HERE and still have some charm squares left over. 


Last year, Julia also hosted a blue swap, but I didn't get in on that one.

This year it was a low volume swap and I signed up for 8 groups. I love low volume prints. I have a good variety in my stash, but they are smaller cuts so I did a little shopping for the swap. I bought some of these with part of a gift certificate, and some were sourced online, on sale


Julia is offering 2 pretty patterns, but of course, you can make whatever you wish. There are so many options with charm squares.

The swap groups filled up in 2 hours so I'm glad I was able to take part. The variety I got back was so good!


It's been a while since I made a low volume quilt, but there are quite a few on my radar. I made my You Make Me Smile quilt 3 years ago and gifted it to our girl. 


It's still one of my favorites and I'm hankering to make another.

I love that red quilt. Stunning yet so simple. Low volume is a rarity at my place. I'm not attract to it when shopping and then I regret not taken a look at them when I leave the store. Lol. (For inspiration only) Cynthia at Quilting is More Fun than Housework is doing a low volume heart. See it here. https://quiltingismorefunthanhousework.blogspot.com/2025/06/some-finishes-to-love.html

On another note, I spotted this and I thought of you.
