I got two lovelies yesterday, one from April & one from Nancy in LA. They're both really nifty. April, I LOVE the fabric you selected to go with mine. I would not have thought of putting those two together, but I like the finished product.
I'm still missing a few, but I know they'll arrive in due time.
I'm s excited for 3.0! I've already gone online and ordered fabrics for it! (FYI, if you go to Fabric.com they're having a Westminster blowout sale! I got 14.5 yds for just over $36 and I'll have PLENTY to use for sashing/borders/pillow cases, etc. after using my F8's. At $2.49 per yard, you almost can't go wrong, and there is a lot to choose from! Sale ends at Midnight on 7/26/10, so get there early if you want some cuz they'll go pretty fast at that price!)

Odessa-thanks for the heads up! They had co-ordinating fabric for the panel I did blocks for in the first swap that I was going to order for the backing but by the time I went to checkout it was gone :-(
