My two were cut pretty good. I noticed the strips dipped a bit in the middle, probably because they are stack cutting. They are sewing together great! I am making the kits as they send them and using my creativity on the extra quilt each time. Looks as if we all got the same prints this go round!

I just got my kit an hour ago I guess I need to do some measuring before I start. The material I got is so cute it is for a boy I can't wait to start it.

No, you didn't dream it. There are special boxes at the post office that you can get and if you can fit it in the box and it is less than 70 pounds, you can ship anything in it. If you place the quilts in a plastic bag and use the vacuum cleaner to suck the air out, you should be able to get 2-3 quilts in a box for the same money it costs to send one. They will shake out and be fine when they reach their definition. You just have to make sure the box closes. Good luck! Check USPS.gov

My fabric was cut ok. Thanks for the heads up on mailing OSQ. I will send mine out tomarrow. Took the quilts to two different guild meetings so maybe they will get some more! Everyone seems real interested in helping.

Check out Quilts for Kids - it is sponsored by Downy (fab softener). Google Quilt for Kids - Downy. They send you the fabric, all cut, ready to go, less the batting. Get your batting, make the quilt and then send it back to Pennsylvania. They are darling quilts for little children that are in the hospitals. They have to be all machine done.

Good luck! Edie
