I'm thinking about this one real hard...

I have my Dad still with us (from when he had his stroke in May-- he's doing great but I think he's too lonely to go back home ... and he LOVES "helping" me with blocks from prior swaps).

Please do stress to have the blocks at least the sizes requested -- preferably a little bigger so they can be trimmed down if needed as you can't "stretch" another 1/8" generally. As I am trimming/squaring up blocks from other swaps, this is the one thing that is driving my Dad bonkers -- how the blocks aren't the correct size (hearing an 82 yr old repeatedly whine is not pretty I'll tell ya). I know the skill levels vary but sizes shouldn't be too bad for everyone. I've told him I'm sure some of mine in other swaps had to be adjusted too as that "just happens" sometimes.

I'll bookmark this and see how "life" goes for another week or so.
