We have a great hashtag now for it #Spartiquilt - thanks to Marilyn for the idea
I was asked about the types of fabric that could be used?
good question :)
the answer is try not to use anything lighter than a sheer net curtain type of fabric (we can mount it on an unbleached calico) and don't do heavier than a thin denim as my sewing machine wont cope.
Personally i would try to aim for a cotton or poly cotton, calico or linen type fabrics. if your knitting, crocheting, painting or using a photo then your square can be mounted so just concentrate on making your square.
Different fabrics with textures is find, i would avoid really stretchy fabrics unless you mount them for stability.
I hope that helps
