OK, here is an update for today. My mailman brought a tub of packages yesterday and more packages today. He said this is a lot. I told him to just wait. This is a BIG swap. He said that we need to put a mail shute from the mailbox to the front door; put a doggie door in the front door and just send them in! We had a good laugh over that. I told him that I would have to take them to the post office to send them back out. He was glad about that.
I received the following packages:
TammyB
Walk-N-Roll
Krista
Barley
Cmilton
Ulrike moser – 2 packages (can you give me your board name??????)
Hobbykat 1955
Lady Elisabeth Quilts (can you give me your board name??????)

You are SOOOOOOO right about not wanting to cut these babies up. I have thought about how I want to use them. One way is to decide how big I want my squares for my project, cutting the piece that size (8x8, 6x6, 12x12, etc) out of the FQ and putting the signature scraps in the center. That way, it will preserve the look of the fabric and will show who the fabrics are and where they are from. If I piece it, I will have to put other fabrics with it and I don’t want anything to take away from these fabrics. I am still thinking about what I want to do with them.
There are a lot that have not put their board names or signature scraps on the FQ’s. I will try to put a slip of paper in with the FQ’s to let you know where they came from. For me, I will write down the names and where they are from on a scrap of fabric so I will have it. I have already enlisted my daughter to help me. (my sister too) My Mother said she will help if she is up to it. She can write the info down.
So far, I am not swimming in them, but I have a feeling it won’t be long now!!!!
Hang in there!!!!! You are going to be glad that you did!!!!
Blessings!
