bullet Swap Etiquette for Q P Forum

 

 

   

     A new swapping project began on the Quilting Passion Forum in which we began swapping noodles.  For more information regarding swapping noodles, please contact Peggy!

     Now, you may be asking yourself, "What in the world is a noodle?".  Simply said, it's a strip of fabric that is the length of whatever the width of the fabric (WOF) is.  In other words, a 2.5" noodle would be a strip that was 2.5" wide by the WOF long, which usually ranges between 40" - 44".

      What can be done with noodles?
