The Untied Colors of the Houston Modern Quilt Guild

The Houston Modern Quilt Guild's annual Designer Solid Swap will be in May.  Please bring fat quarters of designer solids and label them with the color/designer.  The Sign up for a color is on our webpage through the Modern Quilt Guild, the particular shade is up to you.  You do not have to sign up - I put that there so we trading a rainbow of colors.

Acceptable:
Hawthorne Hues
Robert Kaufman Kona (sold at Hobby Lobby/JoAnns)
Michael Miller Cotton Couture
Bella
Free Spirit (Sold at Painted Pony)
Pat Bravo - Pure Elements
and many other designer solids.  More and more seem to be launching their own lines.

Hawthorne Threads is sponsoring a prize for the swap which is a fat quarter bundle of their Hawthorne Hues.  For every 4 fqs, you get one entry.  The Hawthorne Threads solids are so soft!  This shop was featured in Star Store of the Month for Art Gallery fabrics.
See their rainbow.

Lets keep this swap colorful so no white/ivory/black or navy.

Happy Swapping!
