Blocks are on the way to Jane. I look forward to getting a good selection back to add to those that i kept because they just were too "off" to be suitable to give away. With some work, i can salvage them. (Saved one yesterday!) Thank you again Jane for your hard work!

Oh boy..... I didn't purposely wait until the last minute. Just crazy busy. And just crazy. And my sister visiting, she's crazy too. But maybe she'll help me try to finish. I've had my strips cut since the beginning so I'll try to sew like a mad woman and mail out.

Sew away, Sheri - - - - sew away! Need lots of swappers for a great swap! Great to enlist your sisters' help if that's what it takes. Keep at it!

I had 5 "bad" ones also but since we send in groups of 4, that knocked out 2 full sets. Oh, well, i'll have plenty to rework to use for my quilt. I'd hoped to make it to 6 good sets but it just wasn't in the cards! (Scrappy is my favorite kind of quilt but after this swap, and the 2 other scrappy quilts i'm putting together simultaneously right now, I think i might temporarily be off scrappy!)
It's funny you say that because I thought it was just me that had to keep a few. I had to keep 5 blocks, I figured I would have a quilt with several different blocks in it as I always have blocks that don't come out just right. In will call it my scrappy block scrappy quilt, and it will be the best one I make.

Hi Sheri, no, I don't believe there were any rules about the order of colors. If there were, I missed them! I just put the strips together in whatever way pleased me at the time and I almost always ended up rearranging them once I'd sliced through them.
