This is easy compared to the 3 Journeys I hosted that took a total of close to 6 years here on the Board,,
The Farmers Wife Quiltalong, The Pony Club Quiltalong and The 30"s Quiltalong.
There's lots of Christmas fabric on sale all over right now.

We have another swapper!!! Welcome Sunrise!!!
I unpacked the car yesterday, went food shopping and was in bed by 9 last nite… My sewing group is celebrating a birthday today and we are all going out for lunch. When I come home I'll have to start putting away all the "stuff" I traveled with.. then I'll be back in the groove.
Have a good day all of you and do what you like to do!!

Put my package of ten groups of nine-patches in the mail this morning. Expected delivery is Monday, February 4, by 8:00 p.m. Hope the Post Office is right on this one.
I had a great time putting the blocks together. Only had to redo a few of them because of the seam allowances. I think I finally got it right.
I'm really looking forward to receiving the blocks from other participants. I'm already cutting 6 1/2" blocks to put between them to make an Irish Chain top.
Sigh! My scrap box is still full, even after cutting so many little squares! One of these days, I'll figure out how to do a quilt top without having so many scraps, right?

Don't you know that when you put the candies away they have fun and multiply.. I still can't figure out when I put them in the drawer I keep on finding more than what I put away!!!!
YD, you need to PM the tracking number to me. I can't wait to see them!

Honchey I made all of my blocks. Now I'm going through them all and I finding a lot of them are not 6.5". Most of them are 1/16th short. I will be lucky if I have 5 sets. At this point in time I'm not sure if I will be making more 9 patches. I am getting frustrated with making these blocks. I know I cut all my squares correctly. I measured each square at least 3 times. I sewed with less than a 1/4" seam and my blocks are still coming up short. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I know I said I would do 10 sets. Would you be okay with 5. I will try to make more blocks if I don't get to frustrated with the ones I have know.

Queenbarbiej-Please don't get frustrated with making the 9 patch blocks as I had a few that were not 6 1/2" square too. I just put those blocks in a place not to be used and I recut scraps and cut the new 2 1/2" scraps just a shade (like 2-3 threads larger). Also, when I iron the blocks I had to remember to just "up and down pressing" not like I was ironing a blouse or something like that. This is for fun so good luck and please just enjoy the swap.
