quilterjody 09-18-2012 09:45 AM

I put mine in the mail last night. I can't wait to see what I get...already trying to decide what to do with them. :)

Nelco 09-18-2012 09:50 AM

WOW everyone must of had lots of 2.5 already cut to get them sent off so early. Me. I am just starting.:rolleyes: guess I better get off of here and start cutting. :)

marytoddliz 09-18-2012 10:33 AM

I know what I am going to do with mine! I am making a cathedral window quilt and need lots and lots of 2.5 squares! I am trying to make them all different, so far so good. I am using my scraps from all the Boomerang Swaps I was in, that gave me a lot of different fabrics. But about a 3rd of the way into it I am finding myself running out of scraps, and I was sure I had a ton of scraps!

Can't wait to get my Candy!

Twisted Quilter 09-18-2012 03:04 PM

WooHooooo! 5 more sets to go. :o

Nelco 09-18-2012 05:20 PM

got 7 sets cut and LOTS more to go. :)

Nelda, I saw somewhere that there is a Quilt show in Portland next month, while I am going to be in Washington, I am really thinking that I could fit that in! I love the quilt shops in the Great North West!

I'm anxious too for the swapping to begin. I'm just waiting on mail and we are still getting new sign ups. I just got a pm for our 30th "candy" swapper!

Please post a pic of your quilt. It will give us all a sweet treat to dream about. :D
