I use a small manila envelope & pay $1.05. The legal envelopes may not go through the postage machine. I lost a block once and received only an empty envelope!

Is it still in time to start this swap?

You can start this swap anytime. Just PM MadeinMaine and give her your theme. It's fun.

I got a beautiful purple block with cranes oriental fabric the name on the envelope was smeared who do I need to thank? I will post a photo tomorrow.

Usually takes at least a couple stamps or more, but if lumpy and more than 1/4" thick they will stick you for a package and will be more like $1.22. But you know, it also depends on the clerk -- sometimes two blocks can cost $1.05, sometimes $1.32. Can depend on the simplicity or complexity of the block, too -- the more seams, it gets a bit heavier. Some of it depends on how you fold -- now I am careful to keep the big lumps to a minimum. Sometimes the clerk will force it through the 1/4" slot, sometimes will charge extra if it hangs up the least little bit!!!

Glad you liked it, Linda. A friend gave me a package of Thangles and this is a pattern that came with the strips of paper Thangles. I know, I could make them without the paper but this makes it so easy :-P

Have a great day!

Well, my $100 Kenmore just stopped dead. Could this have to do with all the blocks I have been making!!
