Traci have you got the other set yet? Would appreciate an update since it's been a week.

Annaquilts 08-20-2013 04:01 PM

Thank you for posting tracibug. I hope things are going well for you in your new place. I am sure you are super busy. Can't wait to see everyone's blocks. Thank you for hosting.

Everyone should have packages Monday says the receipt. Thank you for your patience. Everyone's blocks were beautiful and I hope you enjoy what you get back.

createfourpaws 08-25-2013 11:38 AM

Oh so possible tomorrow we I get home from work ..... will have some to play with. YEAH

Mariposa 08-25-2013 01:37 PM

Wahoo! A squishy in the mail!! :)

jaba 08-25-2013 02:37 PM

Looking forward to getting them and putting the quilt together. I love the last one, it's done except the hand binding sewing. Seems I can always put that off, too hot in the summer with this big quilt draped over my legs. Haven't had those hot flashes in a while, but if it covers my legs they seem to come back again real quick....fall project I think :D

With this swap wrapped up (pending deliveries), I will be stepping back a bit from the board for a while. I'm having some health issues that have contributed to me not completing commitments and such, on the board and in my world at home. I will still be here if anyone needs anything and hope to host again in the future.

For those I still 'owe'... You're on my list to complete before I take on anything more.

Be well and God bless.

happylab 08-26-2013 05:43 AM

Tracibug, thank-you for all you have done for the board. You will be missed, but it's more important to take care of your health. I hope it's something you can get back to you love of quilting activities with rest and less stress. Take care and God bless!

I received my blocks and twists. Thank you ladies. As I am typing one of my teens is laying out all the blocks. It looks like a wonderful variety of prints and patterns of well made blocks. They all seem to play together well and not a single one double. I guess less people ended up doing the stwist so there were 3 sets of triples and one of my own but it will work out great and it is just in time for me to make some totes and such with the 2 1/2 inch strips. Since it is such a small project, a tote, I doubt I will have many if any repeats of strips and I am glad to have strips ready to go. Christmas will be here before I know it. Great swap! Thank you to all participants and special thanks to tracibug. I wish you well tracibug and hope you will be well soon.

Received my pkg just now and put the blocks on the design wall. Thanks to everyone! They are wonderful.

Thanks to Tracibug for all your work on this swap. Hope things go well and you can continue to be active and log lots of machine time

Attaching a photo!

jaba 08-26-2013 05:05 PM

Thought for sure they might be in the mail today, but not. Maybe tomorrow hopefully. Thanks for posting them khuxford, now I know what I can look forward to.

mom-6 08-26-2013 05:08 PM

What pretty blocks you got! Hope mine come tomorrow. Things seem to take longer to arrive when you live out in the woods. Lol!

TheMamaHauser 08-26-2013 05:25 PM

Mine arrived today! I haven't got a chance to open & look yet... hopefully tomorrow evening ends a little better.

createfourpaws 08-26-2013 06:28 PM

I got mine today.....nice end of a day. WOW they are all beautiful. 36 blocks and 10 pks of the twist strips. I love it. I think I make 2 smaller quilts with them.

Now to decide on what I want to sash them with. I am thinking of a dark blue or purple....Will be going to the batik store on Friday.

mom-6 08-27-2013 09:40 AM

WhooHoo! Got mine just now. All are so pretty!!! Blocks and strips both. Now to go play with them.

ljdugas31 08-27-2013 11:17 AM

just got mine,thanks love them

mom-6 08-27-2013 02:40 PM

Been having fun playing!
Thank you ladies for such lovely blocks to play with. Haven't started playing with the strips yet, but they are very pretty.

And an extra big THANK YOU to tracing for hosting!!! You certainly deserve a rest. Between travel, moving and hosting I'm sure you're exhausted.

Think I'm going to follow Cindi's example and make two smaller quilts as well. One primarily aquas and purples and the other more earth tones. Probably will add a couple blocks to each and make them 4 blocks x 5 blocks. Might put some of those strips to good use on that.

Better go take pictures of my preview layouts so I can remember initial plan - always subject to change a couple gazillion times. Lol!

jaba 08-27-2013 06:21 PM

Got mine today but haven't been able to go through them yet. I'm sure they are beautiful and I want to thank all of you right now for doing the swap and making blocks for all of us to share. Had doctors appts. this morning, had to do tomatoes, zucchini and green peppers this afternoon and just finished dinner. It looks like I may be headed to some serious back surgery so am trying to stay caught up on the garden stuff or it will be gone and nothing saved. Will certainly go through them tomorrow and try to start planning my quilt or quilts. Thank you all again.

awilson 09-05-2013 05:47 PM

Just went through them today! Thank you all!!

tracibug 10-04-2013 12:01 PM

Nicely done!!!

happylab 10-04-2013 01:26 PM

Very, very, nice. I really like the quilt. Very pretty!

Mariposa 10-05-2013 06:35 AM

Looking good! :)

Annaquilts 10-06-2013 10:41 AM

Thank you for posting. It looks great! I am still hanging on to mine for a special bigger project as all the blocks played well with each other.

That came out great!
I'm going to make mine into two separate lap quilts by adding a couple blocks to each color combo. Don't really need a big one, but plenty of uses for smaller ones, plus I can complete them myself - eventually.
