Hmm just realized that the 26th is tomorrow not Sunday. Typo on the first post. Sign ups are allowed until Sunday for anybody who got mixed up by my mistake

Ok, I cut all my pieces for the second set, laid them all out and found that I am five 4.5 squares short for two blocks. Quilt store is closed today, so have to go tomorrow and get the fabric, finish the last two blocks and then will mail on Wednesday. They look beautiful, worth the wait. Will still be ahead of the cut off date. Should only take two days to get to CA.
|
Just a few more days before we receive our blocks :thumbup: waiting patiently to see what colors come my way. I pretty much know what I'm going to do with my blocks. Anyone else excited? :P
|
I am. I am going to put all 24 on point and then applique small leaves in a black border and set all around. I may do a couple of smaller versions of the maple leaf in the corners just to add the last punch. Will hang on my wall going down my stairs.
|
I didn't join this swap but am as anxious as anyone to see all your completed projects. Hope to practie my leaves and then join a future leaf swap.:-)

For an adventure, I sent the lovely daughter to quilt shop yesterday to get the fabric she picked up for me last week, was 4.5" short. Yesterday she came home with wrong stuff so had to send her today. The ladies just love me ya know. During lunch at work finished the last two blocks, was missing five 4.5" squares, and mailed them off today. They should be to you bookworm by Friday no later than Saturday. Whew, met another deadline and did what I wanted, 2 sets. Looking forward to some very pretty blocks.
|
Ooops, forgot to photo. Sorry everyone now you have to wait for the surprise. I already have the envelope sealed and everything.
|
Just checked, my blocks should be to you on Friday the 9th. Thanks for letting me get that last set done. Have the design wall out now and ready to set them on it.

Oooooo love those leaves. The bottom one is very luscious. How are we doing everyone, are they there yet? Do we get them yet? So excited. I am about ready for them to be mailed back. Getting on those other swap blocks and assembling some tops so will be ready for these to hit my design wall and go off running.
|
The swapping of blocks may be a tad late. The postal system seems to be against us and I'm waiting for 8-9 more sets.
|
Saw that, what is there issue? Postage is paid lets deliver PO, our dogs are chained up.
|
Help me out. Who sent 2 flat rates from W Pitt PA 18643
|
I'm still missing a few sets. I hate to do this but if they're not here by this weekend I'm swapping what I have and sending the rest back unswapped. Sorry to do this but for those that kept on top of the deadlines, its not fair to make them wait.
|
Ignore
|
Today marks a week and a day past the due date. What comes in today will be swapped. I can't keep everyone waiting for the sake of a few. Sorry but past today anything that shows up will be returned unswapped

Look forward to seeing all the wonderful blocks that have been made. Do what ya gotta do. Respect of time is important to us all.
|
Mail came and went.
Blocks are swapped. You will prob get duplicates especially if you did two sets. I did my very best to give you each a good assortment. And.... I believe that every envelope has the right amount of blocks this time (had issues with that last time :/) Going to try to get them in the mail this weekend. |
Thanks for all your doing Bookworm.
|
Thanks so much for hosting! I know it can be challenging with organizing and waiting. Can't wait for package whenever it arrives

Received my blocks today! All of them are stunning, and I thank everyone involved, especially bookworm.
|
Hey Bbemerald, if you do not want it, you can send it back to me. (HAHAHAHA)
|
I got my leaves today!!! They are all wonderful. Thanks Bookworm!!
|
Oh so you easterners get yourmail before we do. What is the big idea. We over here in the west have to keep tapping our foot by the mail box. The worst part is, I still cant tap my foot because of the walking boot on it yet. Boo hooooooo.
|
Ok guys I need a favor. The postal gremlins tore an envelope and one of our swappers ended up with one set instead of two.
If you're willing to make an extra block send me a PM and I'll get you their address :) Glad everyone had fun though. And thanks for all the wonderful feedback |
I received my blocks today and they are awesome. It will be had to stay focused on my other projects that have to be for the quilt show next week. Ahhhhh they have to wait a couple of weeks.
|
I rec'd my blocks a couple of days ago. I love all the colors. I know how I want to put them together just got to find some time. Too many projects at one time. Thank you to everyone who made blocks. :thumbup:
|
I am so looking forward to seeing what you all do with your blocks.
