Fabric Swaps?

So I have a ginormous fabric stash, but it always seems like I don’t have the very basic fabrics that I want (or need). Currently I am looking for red knit fabric - jersey, interlock, whatever - and I really don’t want to have to buy more fabric. So I wonder if there is anyone out there that has some to spare (I would like a yard or two if possible), for a trade of some fancier fabric. I have several toiles, suiting fabrics, cotton prints, quilters cottons, etc. I obviously can’t post all that I would be willing to trade, but if you are interested, just shoot me a comment on what exactly you might trade for, whether it be a particular style, color family, etc., and we can work on it from there.

And on the subject of trading, I wonder how many people would like to try and start up a fabric swap on a regular basis? I would certainly be interested in trying to set it up if there were enough interest. After all, we all love fabric!

I don’t have any red knit fabric (or any knit fabric at all, come to think of it) but I would be interested in a swap. I like to make scrappy quilts and fancy bags and really want to embellish some upcoming projects, so a small quantity swap would be fabulous! I’ve got some sari silk, and vintage silk, and a funky retro wool blend herringbone if you want yardage…
