paintmejudy and sistahdebbra - your blocks went out in the mail today. Thanks for your patience. My BIL's funeral is this afternoon so off I go. Had to log on to the board to get my morning 'jolt' - it helps me start my day. LOL

That only works if you are careful to fold the block so that a couple seams don't fall on top of each other. If they do, and it is more than a quareter of an inch thick, you need the extra 20 cents for non-machineable envelopes, and it needs to be handed to the clerk. I find using a 6 x 9 envelope allows me to fold the block so it isn't lumpy, and gets by with one stamp
Silly me, I thought they needed to go into the flat rate envelopes from the post office...time to save some $$$.

Amazing that the two bottom blocks are so different. Thanks for sharing.

And I'm posting a third block which is one that I did a couple of days ago for the Row Robin swap - great minds think alike. same block, different color and position of squares. Check it out!
