FYI...I love to do applique and paper piecing, so if anyone would prefer not to have a block made with either one please let me know. I have zillions of block patterns traditional piecing block patterns as well. Not sure until I get your fabric what block I will be making but just in case. I have to say this again..I'm so excited!! LOL

Delta what beautiful fabric and it looks so fun to work with.

I am posting my fabric here on this thread. It is also on pg.10 of the original thread. At least some of my envelopes will be sent today (or tomorrow at the latest). I need to get to the PO to see how much postage they will take. I'm excited :!: -I have lots of new blocks I can choose from to make your block!

I absolutely love these fabric choices!!
Lindsay do you know the maker of your fabric? Izabella and I love brights and butterflies (which I think you already know lol) and have a huge collection of both. Would love to find some.
Hugs

I am now heading to bed, I finished cutting and folding fabric for the other group! over the next 4 months I will make 50 blocks! This is going to be fun learning new blocks, and getting to know new friends!

WOW!! You will be busy making fun blacks-50!! I'm busy these days, with granbabies, and getting back in the swing of things, so opted for one small group this time around. Hopefully things will be less hectic for the next Boomerang Swap for me to do more than one group!

Love the fabric you chose--do you care which colors we pick to go with it??

Here's the fabrics I chose for the swap: for a playful beachy theme:
Suggested colors to use with the fabrics are: 2 shades of lime green, yellow, 2 shades of lavender and a pink

Wow! Fun fabrics posted - I am excited to be part of this swap.

I am almost ready to mail things out, probably Monday as I do not yet have a letter to go with the fabric.

Now to check the spreadsheet for the destination of all these squishies!! :D

Just in case anyone needs help with labels try this:
Open and save the excel spreadsheet in your documents. Open up word, click on mailings, start mail merge and then choose the step by step wizard. From the right choose labels, then next, then choose label options from right, the box that pops up 5160 is generally the 3 rows 10 per row address label format, then next to select recipients, browse and choose the excel spreadsheet, click next arrange labels click address block, match fields in the lower right, first name should be swapper name, last name & suffix not matched, company (this is optional) you can put their boardname here or not matched, address 1 will be street name, address 2 not matched, city will be city, state & zip, state & postal code will be not matched and country or region will be country. Once you select these fields click okand then ok again and then update all labels on the right hand side. Then click on next preview your labels then next complete the merge and then print on the right. You should be good to go. I would recommend not putting their board name on the labels as this may make them too large.
