In the
beginning of January I entered 2 noodle swaps on swap-bot. I entered both the regular swap as well as the modern swap. A noodle is a 5" by length-of-material strip. In the swap you are assigned 5 people that you send to and 5 people that send to you. Depending on how many are in the game, they may or may not be the same. These are the noodles that I received, and sticking off the top are some little
extras that where in a couple of the packages.
I am going to use my swap noodles for a values quilt. I got started last week and have about 20 squares done from scraps and noodles. The brown and pink fabric is one of the fabrics that I sent out.
Sign ups are open till February 12 for the next round, so if this sounds like fun here are the links:

Hadn't heard of the Noodle swap so thanks for the link Diane. I've seen some value quilts around and they look great. Looking forward to seeing yours!
ReplyDeleteI have just enjoyed looking through your blog Diane.You have made some beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love making scrappy quilts and things.
The noodle swap sounds like a great way to collect different fabrics.
I had such a BLAST doing the last 5" noodle swap! Maybe we will be partner again! :) Can't wait to see your values quilt - which I've never heard of before. You ROCK Diane!
ReplyDeleteThe noodle swap sounds so fun, Diane. Thank you for visiting me and leaving the kind comment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I'm not sure if I have any noodles lying around, but I am sure I could make some! How fun
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun swap. I've was in a few 2.5" noodle swaps and got some beautiful fabrics back.
ReplyDeleteYes, this looks fun, but this is the first time I'm hearing about noodles! It will be interesting to see your finished project.
