Time to vote for our themes for the 23rd Hexie Swap!

Since Summer is almost upon us, let’s make it a bit easier to participate in the swap and spend quality time with your friends and family with outdoor activities. Now, we all know that there are plenty of those summer days that either we want to take a break or due to weather that you can make a few hexies here and there. This swap will have three themes, but I will choose one of them.

My theme is “Goop Mélange Stashbusters”, but in 2 ½ to 3”squares! Many have asked for a certain color hexie when swapping out, but since they are already bagged, I'm not taking the time to sort them out just for a few. By swapping out the squares, I can ask for your favorites when swapping out and I will try to accommodate them (such as darks, brights, lights, only florals, reds, etc.). These are for fillers for your larger open area projects. Questions? Just ask!

What will it be like? Washed 2 ½” to 3” squares that meet the Stashbusters guidelines; no more than 10 12 pieces of the same print will be a set. Don't have enough of one print to make 10 12 pieces, use two other prints, but you cannot use them in another set. No minimum to join, but a maximum of 12 10 sets (120 pieces). Just a reminder that we are looking for SMALL prints—larger prints will be returned. Yes, you read this correctly—not finished hexies, just the fabric.

In addition, email me your top TWO theme choices of finished hexies to 2013hexagonswap@gmail.com. The poll will stay up until June 9^th; the official sign ups begin immediately and ends on June 23^rd. In order to give you PLENTY of time, the swap is due in my hand no later than September 10^th.

Guidelines would be the same as the previous swaps, but always feel free to contact me if you have any questions on fabrics. You can check out the blog at http://hexagonswap.blogspot.com/ for past swap guidelines.
