Oh sure I got 25 back plus one of my own, but really, that is a lot of blocks. It strikes fear in me thinking of making that many blocks again.
Tee-Hee-Hee
SewBizGirl was right - we made 5 blocks of the same design; kept one and sent the other 4 to the hostess. You could do as many sets of 4 as you wished. The blocks are 12.5 inches unfinished. I did two of the RWB swaps and a summer block swap. I thought they were great fun. It allowed one to get some really cute blocks in a variety of styles and fabrics. It's been a couple of years since the last one.
