I do have to find a cheaper way of sending these quilts. I can't afford to send them as often as I would like to make them. Any suggestions??????
Post Office charges $7.02 to mail one! I thought I had read somewhere that you could mail in two for the same price as one! Did I dream that?
I am having fun with these, but it is getting hard to send them at that price.

No, you did not imagine "send 2 for the price of one" postage. It's written in the info. I'm wondering if they'll ship both for the price of one if you buy the postage boxes that indicate you pay the price of the box and whatever and however heavy the items you can stuff IN THE BOX can be shipped in that box...1 pound to 100 pounds so long as it FITS in the size box you buy??? Just a thought.
Another epiphany...
I'm wondering if you might have a Q for K point person right close to where you live? Somewhere on their website it gives the names and addresses of the different administrators of the program in each state. Maybe if you have a point person close to your home you'd be able to drop the quilts off there rather than mail them. I see where you live in the Cities, Minn....the point person may be a tank of gas to get to her/him so mailing would be less expensive but maybe that person lives 4 blocks from you too. Never know???
I'm working on my second. I have the just finished the same one as the picture shown just above this post...bugs, butterflies and now I'm working on one from my stash and from fabric I bought at the Quilt Fair yesterday. They are very cute, simple, fast to make quilts, fun quilts.
Good luck and thank you for making the quilts.
