for me any colours or size of print will work (but red is my fav!!) - please let me know if you have any preference for your swap

this is the current ones colours - but the next one will have some browns and orange as well i think
Looks like i've used quite similar fabrics to you Mitty and i'm happy to make up some using reds

I'll just play with you for now if that's okay. That's about all my organisational techniques are capable of. Unlike Little Miss Gemorganized, I haven't cut anything into stripping strips yet. Not sure I'm into oranges and browns though, but I'll trust you on the content.
But how long should your stripping strips be? Or am I getting too hung up over them. Shall I just cut and post, making sure there are thinnuns and fatuns?

dont get hung up on how long they are as if they is tooooo long i just chop them once i gave sewn them (less wastage that way!!) - and a mix of fat and thin is great - i have my cutting board out now and am making little piles of srtips
