I put 1 F8 and my request note on the inside. I use the other ladies baggies to put their finished blocks in to send back to them. They go back into the same bag that they came in. I keep my baggies and use them repeatedly as long as they don't have a hole in them anywhere.
When I send a finished block back for a lady, I put it back into her bag, neatly folded. I turn her request note over to the back and write who the block is for and who made it. I put it into the bag so that the note shows on the opposite side of the bag from the owner's board name sticker. That way Janice knows who it goes to from either side of the bag.
I just thought this might be a help to some of the new ladies. Hope I didn't bore you to bad. LOL

I chose 3 very different fabrics to send out. I figured the darker fabrics would make nice accents while the lighter fabric says the beginning. I look forward to seeing how others fill in the blanks. Happy quilting. Here is a pic of the fabrics I chose:
