Yeah! I can't wait to get it! I am going to work on yours tonight, I had so much fun matchin yours up, since I have it in my stash! I have to run, got a lot to do before I meet with my newest customer and, her friend who I met right here on the Quilting Board. I am making a memory keepsake quilt for her. I have to think of something really special to do for her friend who got us together...finders fee :-) = Quilt block or fabric???

Now on to my next one. |
I made it to the post office today and mailed a f8 to everyone. I thought it might be expensive, as I have not mailed things internationally lately, and the rates seem to rise daily. But it was not. Anyway, you all can be expecting to see some 'spring' coming your way.
BTW, I did not realize until addressing the envelopes that we are such a wide-flung group. Wonderful! I look forward to seeing what blocks we all choose for each other. |

I started to look at patterns last night and some are 9", 10", etc. I've never done a block that I had to send to someone else, so now it matters. For my own sizes I didn't really care as long as they are more or less came squared out in the end same sizes. I thought it would be easy, but now I realize I will need to go through alot of 'mock ups' to get the sizing down right. :cry: Since I want to experiment learning new blocks. |

FROM JILLINJO Am sending mine out next week due to work commitments so you may get your completed block back with my fabric . |
When I first started doing swaps years ago I made 8",9"&10" patterns and then put a border around them so I could trim them to the correct size.
Paper piecing is my favorite method right now and it's very easy to come out the the correct size if your 1/4" seams are right on target. |
Just finished my second block...jillnjo it's headed your way tomorrow. Now to check my mailbox, the mailman should have ran by now, hope I get lots of f8's today.

Great reminder, thank Shelley!

I received F8 today from Susan and sewhappy30! I got the rest of my international F8th's out today, I am keeping the receipt for next time, so I know how much stamp to put on without having to go inside the office!

No f8's today in my mailbox. I'll just have to work on some other ufo's I've got.
