I wanted to add that I want to make a couple of those quilts for my DMIL's church and an auction my DD's church has each year as a fundraiser.

how wide are the strips needed to be,
surely if several cuties cut or ripped a strip and posted it to you if for a good cause then you would soon have enough. annie in the uk

I find dressmaking fabric hard to find here in the UK so when my granddaughter's dolly needed some clothes I tided up my own wardrobe!! A couple of blouses and a nightie I no longer wear made dresses and nightwear for dolly. She even got a new coat out of an old curtain that had faded at the edges but was perfect in the middle.

where do you live Linda? ~ San

Location would be helpful --- where would we send these? I love string quilts and the thousands of ways to use them. I kind of collect pictures of them. Bonnie Hunter runs a great site -quiltville and you can see some there and more places to check out. Some people have even made fabric from strips and then cut out their shapes - ie houses, triangles. I like to make diamond star points by paper piecing them. They look so good with bright solid background squares and triangles.
The ideaof shopping in your wardrobe for fabric is a good one. I lucked out and visited goodwill the day they had short sleeve men's shirts 4 for a $1!! All cotton, XLG and plaids I liked. What a deal.

let us know where you live and you will probably get "squishy's" very soon. (The envelope will be squishy ..)

I sent you a pm.

I just wanted to clear up a bit about my post. I wanted to know if anybody knows of a fabric swap. I wasn't asking for free fabric. That being said, I know from another board that some poeple toss out or pass on scraps that are too small for them to use but others may be able to find a use for. I can use anything 1 inch or over. Either for string quilts or for applique. Hugzzz, Linda

Where do you live???? Or at least what country?
I do patch work and have scraps. Would be happy to share if postage isn't too high.
I don't know of any fabric swaps.
