And that completes my blocks going out!!!! (Except for cjt_mama -- and that's ok, you just enjoy that new baby. No rush at all -- got a lot of time, now.)
I've really enjoyed making them. If any of you are missing one from me, please let me know. And if I screwed up postage and you had to pay extra, please let me know about that, too. I definitely want to make good on any postage due.
Wow I dont even have all my fabrics yet!! I am impressed!
This has been a really challenging swap. I've tried to make as many different blocks as possible. My angles suck, so I apologize if some of the seams don't line up right. (Those are the blocks that just require a lot of extra quilting to cover them up.) Now I know what I need to work on. I've enjoyed working with so many different fabrics, and ironically the blocks I liked the best are made with fabrics I never would have thought to buy. So now I've learned to be more broad-minded when I shop and get out of my rut. The finish size is still a killer with some patterns, and I'm still learning how to cope with that. Sometimes that scant 1/4 inch works, sometimes it just throws everything else off. This has been a great learning experience.
So anyway, I'm ready for the next swap in April. In the meantime, if anyone feels overwhelmed or something comes up to make it difficult to finish, please call on me and I will be glad to help any way I can.
