Regarding shipping packages, You may ship in whatever container you wish as long as there's tracking. The mailers I use are ONLY available at USPS.com. They are free but you must make an account but you need not supply any credit cards unless you order something for which there is a charge. I've never heard anyone say they found the padded priority flat rate envelopes at a post office and mine said they're not a normally stocked item. If you want them for future booms, I'd go ahead and order a package of three or five now. I cannot recall the exact number of the smallest available bundle. I order two sets of 15 every couple of months.

I finished another baby top and tried a new technique too. the border is made with the leftover fabrics sewn onto calculator paper. It worked pretty well, all I had was the 2.25" roll. Next time I do it I want to use the 3" wide. [ATTACH=CONFIG]565339[/ATTACH]

Billi -- looks great! That is a great idea for putting a border together quickly without having to measure anything!

How pretty is that! The calc border turned out really well.

Great idea to use the paper to stabilize the scraps into a border, and bright and happy baby quilt.

Mjp.thanks for YouTube clip. I'm not really familiar with it so this helped.
Terriamn, prayers are being answered. God is in control.
Billi, what a great idea. I will certainly remember this as my candis never line up
