Mine is all cut and so now I have to put them in baggies and write my instructions, send Janice a picture, and then I can mail them. They will go out this week. I have two fabrics. 6 of you will get one of them. I am making a toddler quilt for charity and I didn't have enough to make 8 so the left over material, I will make the two extra blocks I need. I can fudge it around. the other fabric is for a boy quilt. It is totally all boy. I am still pondering what color I want to put with it. I will decide very soon.
My daughter and grandson moved out this last weekend after living here for 2 1/2 years. My daughter had the downstairs where my living room would have been. So now my son and I are cleaning and cleaning and cleaning and restoring a living room and sewing area. So I am glad that I don't have to start on the blocks until January when everything will be restored. I hope. lol. although I will be in Australia for three weeks of January, but who knows.....I could be a quick little bunny and get them all done before I leave. (smile)

Yay! Groups are assigned and we can get started! <:)
I have at least 3 different prints of the B/W fabric I will use. I guess I will put them all in one camera shot and send to Janice that way. I should be able to mail my F8's before this weekend.

Putting the 3 fabrics in the same pic is ideal. thank you! Also, love your signature quote. I used cutting today as therapy. (Made two errors as my mind wandered, but I feel a bit better. We had some unhappy news yesterday and, well, I'm cutting fabrics for a new top to help me sort it out. I'm already working at a snail's pace but I need to slow down more to let my mind catch up with my rotary cutter. "Measure 47 times and cut once" should be my manta today.)

Bwahahaha! I would have a reward for the dog definitely - but I might let my insurance buy me a brand-spanking new machine! ;)

Cool beans, Janice! I will get a pic emailed to you this weekend. I *may* end up with four B/W prints - not sure yet.
Joanlizbay - I have been collecting B/W prints for a while and figured this would be a great way to get a variety of blocks. I have everyone else do all my work. LOL.

This morning, Cuppy withdrew from the swap. I have the name of a person who may want to fill the vacancy. I don't expect an answer until at least tomorrow. In the meantime, please continue to send me the full 16 F8s for your group so that we'll have enough in the event that this lady does join. If I don't fill the vacancy, I'll return your extra F8s. Thanks.
