But the beauty is, besides the beautiful blocks, is that each person gets one of them so it doesn't matter! :D

Looks like one of those tests to see if you have eye sight problems. They are cool.

Joanne...nice blocks!

I send a Self addressed Priority envelope along with a check for the postage inside mine envelope to Colletta. I hope that is alright Colletta!
I was sending 2 sets and they would not fit into the smaller flat rate envelope, so I just did regular Priority mail. Please let me know if its a problem and I'll work out something else for you Colletta.

Joanne...I took my 'squishy' to the post office and picked up 2 of their priority shipping envelopes...what I prefer to do...and, addressed both fronts at the counter and then took them to the mail person/up front and had them put the postage on both for me right there. Then stuffed my envelope and blocks in the envelope to mail:)Worked out great...and, mailed it. I detest buying envelopes for mailing and can never remember to pick them up..so this saves a trip and keeps things simple for me:)Skeat

Did you fold up your blocks or is the envelope big enough to keep them flat?

I"ll have to go by the PO and check them out.
The one I have may be the biggest one at 9 1/2 by 12 1/2.

Ah Ha :x Pictures help find mistakes. I spotted a square with stripes the 'wrong' way (which I'll fix :lol: ) - 2nd row of blocks from bottom, 1st block on left, bottom left square.

Isn't it amazing how things you don't see in person show up in pictures? I saw it but personally I would leave it alone. :lol: I would be fine with it but don't know how particular others might be.
