All, I have communicated with Barb, the original leader of this swap, and given her the information about our first birthday. So, we are now 20. A nice round number for this year's swap. As Gannyrosie said, Barb still has time to get her package ready and out for our February birthday. Barb will be another on-time swapper and has good ideas to share with us too. She has a fall birthday, so no rush to assemble another package right away.
I posted a link to a block that uses 2.5's yesterday. Here is my sample. I like the block and on the whole, other than the "arrows" it was a breeze to assemble. The arrows are my problem not a problem with the pattern. I have done them before and they drove me silly. Will I do a whole quilt of these? Likely, but not immediately. I need to consider colors and what I have on hand to make a cohesive looking quilt.
Happy quilting everyone as you prep for the Super Bowl. (Whether you watch or distract yourself with other things. Tee-Hee-Hee
)
