Mind you, dragons would be cool too.
So I haven't really made much of a contribution here, have I? 
OK, I vote for cherry blossoms and the Hanami festival.
I think the fat quarter exchange is a lovely idea, however as I am doing mine in yarn I'm not sure how it would work for me. I would be willing to send a fat quarter (cos I do have some) to someone if they would be willing to send me some DK in a suitable colour, based on the theme and my squares so far, to use in my crochet. Would that be OK? |
Dragons! That sounds like a fine idea.
I'd be up for swapping an FQ too.

Could we tie this in with the March Fat Quarter swap, then anyone can join in even if they aren't doing the quilt-along.

the other bits are optional as long as enough people want to do a swap then we can do it,.....................as long as everyone has fun and enjoys the quilting thing then that is the main thing

i am happy to go ahead with tihs but others may not be so please say so we can organise it if enough people want to ....enough would be two really so there can be a swap  |
I took the liberty of setting up the swap as the March swap - but to use the fabric so obtained in the April blocks to give everyone time to send, receive, be inspired and do the actual work.
This does mean we will have to decide on the April theme pretty soon though.

I was so enthusiastic about doing a block a month - but life has totally got in the way recently so I fear I'm not going to be joining in for a while
