Bali fabric deals??
 

If you need less than FQs of each, it might be worth your while to host a
swap! I've hosted lots and lots of them, and it's fun and easy!

I was wondering if anyone knew where to purchase bali fat quarters
cheap. I'm making a bargello double twist and need 42 different
fabrics that coordinate :-o I'm actually looking forward to trying
my hand at color coordinating all of them though. I belong to the
bali club of the month at Keepsake Quilting, so that's been a big
help. You never know what you're going to get though, and some months
none of the 6 fat quarters are anything I can use. They're still
great for stash building!! I'm trying to go with mostly solid-ish
looking fabrics, so I don't have distraction with too many prints.
Part of me is considering hand dying fabrics to blend with what I
find. I have no experience with dye though, so it could be quite
disastrous!

My inspiration for trying this hailed from Eldrid Royset Forde of
Sweden. I stumbled across her web site a couple of months ago.

Nadine from Northern Maine

Basically, figure out what you need, post a set of rules, and have at it! I
hosted a batik swap last year, and we swapped either FEs or 10" squares. You
can google for rules of other swaps, or I'll be happy to answer any
questions off-list for you. My last swap was a Halloween fabric one, in
which we swapped FEs of either novelty Halloween fabrics, or coordinate
prints. I always put the word "rules" in my post, so you should be able to
bring up quite a few in a google group search for RCTQ.

Thanks for the advice. I'll do a little research and come up with a
plan! I'm looking for mostly blues, so maybe a color theme would work
best for that.
