Nancy, send Rosemary a private message with your email address, name and screen name. She will respond, hopefully, with a number and then you are in!

Rosemary, I hope I'm not too late to get involved in this exchange, too. Thanks for heading this up for us. Nancy

Rosemary just gave me 39a and 20b! I'm so glad I found this thread yesterday. I don't usually check the Triangle exchange topic since I wasn't able to be apart of the exchange so I just check occasionally to see some of the finished projects. I have been hoping for a 2012 triangle exchange so I checked yesterday and found the spool/reel exchange, yay! As I read through all of the posts to catch up it seemed that the fewest people were doing purple so I will plan on purples. I will follow Margo's wonderful tutorial on washing, starching, cutting and piecing, thanks, Margo! I will certainly include two fat quarters, great idea! I've never participated in an exchange before. This will be fun! Thanks for organizing this Rosemary!

Picked up the material for my first set yesterday and washed, starched and cut tonight. Will get them sewn this week. They are what I would call a burnt orange color. Haven't decided on what the color for set 2 will be. I don't think I have ever used starch before so that was a first for me.

I have to get the batting and backing ready tomorrow to drop a quilt off on Monday to be quilted so no sewing on them tomorrow.

I will also be sending 2 fat quarters along. That was a great idea.

I have different shades of fuschias, greens and browns ..... I think I'll do sets of all of them and see which turn out best to send in for the exchange! FQs are a great idea!

Me too, I have a large selection so color guidance would be wonderful!

I selected my fabrics, golden yellows, and will starch them tonight. when I get blocks made I'll post them.

Dear Fellow Wott’s

Great suggestion! I’ll include two fat quarters also

Rosemary and Lorna, please let us know if you have any color preferences!!
Maybe two or three suggestions from each of you will insure that you will get FQs that you will be thrilled with!

FQs are a great idea. I'll be sending two with my package. This is so much fun. Just what I needed to start 2012 off on the right foot!

Hmmmmmmm. Posy's quiet - proabably wondering what to say? Speakless. Didn't expect this? That's okay, deary, we love you and you're doing a great job, you and Lorna too. Allow us the blessing of blessing you back!

I will send two fat quarters too. They can decide who gets which one. I hope they take a picture of all the FQs they get and post it for us. It should be a great variety. What fun. Rosemary and Lorna please accept these with our thanks. We really appreciate you doing this for us. Be sure to give us Lorna's address when it comes time to do the mailing. That will make it alot easier for us from the USA.

Good thinking Sue, will do. I am going to include two FQs with my lot one for Rosemary and one for Lorna. Oh we are turning into a merry motley crew.
