After the Sisterhood HST exchange is over, I'd be interested in a strip exchange that could be used to make several of the quilts in Edyta's book, Friendship Strips & Scraps, including the Farmhouse Quilt and the Spool Quilt. And batiks would be beautiful for that exchange.

I would also love to do a strip exchange! Especially for those two quilts!

I will definitely be in for a strip exchange. Wonder if it would get as big as the SoTTT...

I noticed that some of my lights were not batiks but hand dyed. I guess I seem to lump them together because that is how they are at the quilt shops. Are hand dyed's OK for the light side? If it is not that is OK. Thanks, Teresa Orlando, FL

Well, I really don't know anything about Paypal so maybe Debbie or Clara can let you know how that will work and if it is something we can do. I do not have paypal and I think someone volunteered theirs.

We WILL cut the triangles but NOT press them open or remove the papers before sending.

Jeanine While there is not a minimum to send we are up to 41 members and if you want everyone to have one of yours you would need to make that many. I am going to wait until Feb. 7th to decide how many I am going to do--I would like to make sure that each person has at least a couple from me.

Ok ladies and gents, i got the papers and the book and the gorgeous batiks in todays mail.

)))))))))))) How exciting is that!
The medalion quilt which is 59" square says it needs420 half square triangles.
The Mountain top is approx79 x 94 quick read I think is about 720 . Ice cream Sundae Wall Hanging takes about 56 triangles. Don't quote me on this, Ijust did a quick scan of the book and enjoyed tha beautiful quilts. I love my fabric and it is going in the gentle cycle of my machine tomorrow and will go with the four fat quarters of cream batiks I bought yesterday. Can not wait to get started.

Would love to do the batkis with you Ritzy. I will get busy on them. I will pull my cream batiks and med/darks. Will look lovely when done. I am not sure how many will do, have to look at my fabric stash and see how many have to spare for this as well as the main exchange. Have you made it a certain amount? I am not up to 700 at this time, I am not sure how many you need to make a lap size quilt. Anyone know? I have not bought the book yet.

In the UK 'Bat' can also be short for 'Battle axe' - a formidable mature lady, who rules the roost.

(if you have ever seen 'Last of the Summer Wine' from the BBC, (excerpts available on youtube) most of the ladies there would qualify.

I personally wouldn't claim I was 'mature' enough, but I expect the primary kids at school probably think so.
