I will get them started right away. I hope all my quilting friends can forgive me, I have been dealing with family issues.

OOOg, I'm half way finished, and I need to make some new templates, these ones are running out of sticky, lol!

I have two more fabrics I might use


They're not even nearly perfect, but they ARE all 12.5" square, so that in itself is an accomplishment :)

A better look at the fabrics I'm using

WOW those are great!! Ummm mine is a simpler pattern, still a newbie, cause I get so little sewing time.

BlueChicken 02-11-2009 09:03 PM

Far out! They're awesome.

I've stuck with simple too, so that the points will be good, the lines nice and straight, and the measurements right at the end! I figure it was better to simple and excellent than complicated and messy.

I can't wait to be as good as some of those in here, some of these blocks are just amazing.

My blocks went out in the mail today. Judy should have them by Thursday at the latest!!! YEA!!! Can't wait to see what I get in return.

I can't wait for the return parcel either! :-)

Baren*eh*ked_canadian 02-20-2009 10:46 AM

Ok, so for the international shipping instructions, from what I understand, I send a self addressed envelope with my stuff, and note the weight, and then I'll get a PM with the cost for return postage and then pay through PayPal, right?

Melonie I have no idea how they are doing it!!!! Check your PM I am going to give you Judy's email so you can find out what you need to do.

Butterflyspain 02-20-2009 01:46 PM

Just to help you Bar-en-Cade (sorry for the spelling) Yes, just put in an addressed envelope and then tell Judy you have posted them, she will email you with her paypal email and you can send the money that way

Hope that helps.

I have made serious progress on my star blocks. For 12 blocks there were 540 pieces :shock:

MollieSue 02-20-2009 06:20 PM

Just seen the thread for this, am going to try and see if I can do it!
I have one question though - should the fabrics be washed first? I don't normally, and seen other threads where others don't in their quilt making either. But then these would be going into someone else's quilts.... I've never done a block exchange before, so I'm guessing they should all be one way or the other?

mgshaw 02-20-2009 06:28 PM

Diana,
The fabric is to be prewashed. They have to be sent in by March 1rst. Times a tickin"!!! Hope you can make it! PM me for the address to send them to.

MollieSue 02-20-2009 06:40 PM

Thanks Melissa! That's what I was thinking -prewashed. I'll see what I can do this weekend, and let you know if I'll be able to pull if off on Sunday. :D

WOW!! This must be some fancy stars!!! :D That's 45 pieces per block!!!!

I am still working on mine--I have a total of (only) 192 pieces and I thought that was a lot.

QuiltingTurtle 02-20-2009 08:26 PM

i wish they were fancy..... There might be an easier way, i didn't have instructions just a pic. Maybe I am doing them wrong.

purplemem 02-20-2009 10:57 PM

I'm still working on mine, almost assembled, have 30 pieces in each block (I think), don't guarantee anything right now, have severe bronchitis, taking serious drugs, slowing me down. I slept and coughed for 17 hours today...just woke up, laid down at noon for a nap...

Hope you feel better soon. Take care.

Okay so I just in a panic looked at my list of TO DO's and saw that this was still on my list! I am so out of the loop, I didn't even remember about this? Is there still enough time for me to get my blue and white stars mailed off? I'm so sorry for this...I've just been uber busy...

Let me know if I'm still alright to send these out, and send them to who? I forgot who was the leader of this swap...

Sorry again... :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

peaceandjoy 02-21-2009 01:16 PM

Holy cow - I so don't remember even signing up for this exchange. I recently bought some blues and was looking for a different exchange... Couldn't find it so checked this one for the rules AND I'M ON IT!! Yikes, off to look for 12" star block patterns... Sorry, ladies, they are going to be simple ones! :shock:
