Scrap Vomit Squares Pack - USA #5

I've seen "Vomit Squares" posted before, but this is the first time I looked farther than just the title....what I great idea....I'm going to go start cutting my squares right now.....! !

@ReaderChris Here's a #4 swap the ends feb 25th if you feel like joining one sooner!

@readerChris join in number 4 too!! We'd love to have another swapper.. The more the merrier and more scraps!!

I see you added 4 swap partners now instead of three. That will help me get rid of more of my scraps and then I will have to start over. LOL!

i have never heard it called "vomit" before. and im a quilter. Ive always heard it called a cray quilt, or grandmas squares. but im deffinatly excited about this swap. i have more fabric than i can handle

@JaMaJa yeah I did add 4 people so hopefully people will still join it seems like that what most people wanted. @jcmcelhiney A Cray quilt or granfmas sqaures is a much nicer name, I wonder how the scrap vomit name came about. I am glad that you re excited and have joined this swap. When it gets closer to the end of this swaps sign up date, I will put a link for the #6 swap up!

@whit763 oh sorry spelling error. "Crazy quilt" =) yeah much better names. i was wondering wear vomit came to be. its so gross sounding but i love this swap =)

Well I dropped from the swap because you increased the swap partners. I thought 3 was plenty...actually I think 2 is more perfect. I'm not trying to collect for that scrap vomit quilt so maybe that alters my priority for this swap.

@crochetjunkie let see if more people say the same thing because in swap #4 people wanted more partners. I agree with you though lol but will see keep in on your watchlist please.

I"m excited about this swap. This is close to what they call a postage stamp quilt. I'm planning to use 4 squares and put a border on the bottom and left hand side of the square. That way I will have 12 squares for a start on another quilt top.

Hi, I just dropped from this swap because I feel I have enough for my quilt. Maybe I will join later swaps. Good quilting, everybody!

I personally would love it to be 5 partners, but I also want international. If anyone is international and reading this I want private swaps! PM me!

The reason I don't ask her is because I already PMed her and she will be hosting again in May. That is about the time I will have saved for international shipping anyway so why compete? If I get US partners I can then PM people in the swap for interest in a private one.

I'm in ~ already have 3 packs ready to go and can cut another in no time!

@elsa great I can't wait to see what my partners end me!

I'm in again! Almost all done cutting fabric! WOOT!

great!

I wanted to let everyone know that I am not going to host anymore of these swaps. If any one wants to start hosting go ahead. I will probably join your swap, but there are too many people not sending enough, not the right sizeor not putting their names on the swap. People are then getting upset about it which I understand. It has just gotten too stressful trying to anwser questions angel the swaps. The first swap hosts has asked that I stop hosting it and having her name in it because she is getting contacted. I understand about not sending the right amount, it happens sometimes. I feel bad for all the people swapping correctly and hopw some one starts another 2.5 in swap.

Well, considering whit is no longer going to host these, I will host a few. Mine are in a group (sew random) though so you must be able to join said group to join the swap.

Oh also, I am willing to help those that are newer to swapbot by doing private swaps. Perhaps partial 2.5 square packs, a few jelly roll strips, 10 inch squares, a FQ or combo of above can be arranged. I know I am not the only member that swaps privately so ask other older members if they want to private swap.

Just a comment - I have really gotten some cool squares and I am trying to use my scraps up to send to people. So if you get the same fabric, I hope you are not disappointed! I don't mind if I get the same squares in material. I have been stashing mine and mixing them altogether so I can just pull them out of hat and whatever I get, I make into a square. I only have two rows sewn together as I have been working on a quilt for my niece's wedding. Any squares you want to send me are fine, the same or different. :)

MamaMay, keep me posted about the vomit swap if you start to host. Thanks!

I need advice about the scrap vomit quilt. I have sewed my strips together and they then I was sewing them into the big square and they are not lining up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the advice ahead of time.

Oops, let me say this again. I was sewing the 2.5 blocks together and then started to sew them into the big square that they will be and I am having trouble with them lining up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Well, I know for a fact that some people swapped small squares. I am making mine wonky so it didn't matter to me, but some of the squares were 2.5 by 2.25 that I got (I didn't measure until after I got all my swaps and put them in with my stash, so I couldn't rate a three like I would like to, I will be more deserning next time!)

Maybe that is why my squares won't match up. I didn't measure mine when I got them so now I will have to take them apart and see if they match.

Still haven't got one of my swaps from the last swap ~ so disappointing. But ~ I'm ready to send this swap out! I spent the weekend with a lovely group of women (4 whole days) and got all my little squares sewn together ~ all 735 of them. Waiting to sew the blocks together till I get all the blocks done. Please, if you promise to send a swap ~ DO IT!

That is terrible! Did you rate a one?

Just sent all 4 of the packs out! I still haven't gotten one of my swaps from the last Vomit Pack either maybe its the same person... I am dissapointed too, it was my first swap and am hoping to have a better go this time!

I am so sorry you guys haven't gotten your package yet. Let me know if you need me to contact them. You should rate a 1 if you have tried contacting them and haven;t heard from them. I have heard from a couple people that there has been problems. Pm me and let me know if/hoe I can make it up to you.

@ Elsa i hope it wasn't mine i sent out!! I checked the tracking and they said delivered... Maybe I need to check on the last swap to make sure my peeps got theres. I am mailing my 4 off tomorrow morning! Their all sealed and addressed! Good luck everybody!

It wasn't me! I sent 3 and got 3 ratings. @ whit763 i can angel if u need. Thats aweful that they haven't arrived as of yet. Let me know.

I did contact the person and she said she was sending it out last week, but it hasn't come. I didn't want to give anyone a bad rating, tho this morning I did give her a 1 ~ I know things happen and I know this is on the honor system. I think that if you sign up, you really need to honor your word. Maybe that's be naive but that's how I feel. I know it's only fabric and it's not going to be the end of the world or anything, but still ~

On a lighter note ~ I just sent out my vomit scrap #5 yesterday! Hope everyone I sent to loves their packs!

I have to be humble here and say that I got my package from Jane in this morning's mail and I re-rated her. Thanks to everyone who replied. elsa

Got two packs in the mail today. One was from the last swap and the envelope was all ripped up (everything was still in it). And one from this swap but there was postage due (didn't have any money so couldn't get my pack.

Oh that stinks!! What is the post man gonna do with your pack?!?

Sorry everyone, My kids kindly shared their cold with me but the cold turned into fever & chills, sore thoart and double ear infections lol It's been interesting. @whiskygirl07 thanks for offering to angel. I haven't had any one ask yet to be angeled but will let you know. I have extras cut just in case. Yay!! @elsa I'm so happy that jane finally sent it! Kudos for saying that you got it and rerating her! @turtleBugDesigns that stinks at least you got it and I would def. let who every sent the package that there is owed money on know. I know every time I mail out my squares the post man puts a different amont on it. I don't get it cuz it is the same man and don't get how the weigh different. I package it the same.

OmG ladies!!! Our quilts are famous!! There in a magazine called 'Quilting & Patchwork' SP 2013 issue ... i am looking at it now! It features the instructions and a bit on Katy Jones with a link to her I'm a ginger monkey blog!! This is so cool i am sure shes excited.. Heck I'm excited!! I just had to tell you all!

@whit763 hope you are feeling better. I know what it is like when kids get sick and then share it with everyone in the house! @whiskygirl07 I have a PO Box so the lady just took it back and I went back later and gave the money for it (after waiting in line for another 20 min LOL). It only ended up being $1.41, but that is almost all I pay for shipping out what I send... Alas life goes on and fabric was recieved! SHINY!

I have some blocks that I don't want ~ in colors and fabrics I don't care for ~ mostly purple and batiks ~ 32 of them. Anyone want them? Hope you're feeling lots better @whit763 Thanks for all the work you did putting this swap together!

@elsa I would love to swap for them. What colors are you looking for? PM me and we can chat.
