I received 8 today....I mailed one finished block out today also

I too hit the Jackpot! Received today from:
Mona Grimm
Barbara Day
Odessa Quilts
Lisa Scarberry
Colletta Miller
Andee Roll
April Burke - Do you want just black & white OR can we use bright colors?
Cindy Helbig
Barbara Spurr
Kimberly Whispell

I've already started on the first block received the other day. My mind is going WILD now on which block to use on what fabric! eeekkkk!

[quote=NorBanaquilts]I received a bunch of F8's today and I have some questions.

Barb S do you have any ideas on colors/ a look you are going for???


I have no plan....LOL......not going for any particular look.....just excited to see what everyone will come up with!!

LOL Mad-Overachievers-I like that :-)

KBunn-No fears we all work at our own pace in our own time-it isn't a race to the finish line it is a journey to be enjoyed :-)
I too am letting the fabric speak to me-work with my inner quilter to make a block come to life and be!

I have been numbering them as they come in and with the exception of the people from Canada am doing them in order.

Kys-I am so glad you enjoy the spreadsheet and that it is helping you :-)
If anyone can think of a way that I can make it better for the next go round please let me know your thoughts and ideas.
My mail comes before I get home from work so it's not really torture waiting for the mail the torture for me is waiting for the day to pass so I can get home and check it lol!

Wow Susie 11 in one day-I think your mail person was hoarding them and petting them lol
And nope not a week-which makes this swap fun. you can let your creativity flow as it needs to-you have the time for that :-)

Awww Nancy-thank you so much. Izabella is so excited to see her blocks. When I get the squishes she asks me mom can I open that one is it for me? lol she is just too cute.

Liz-you received one of my daughter's F8s so please feel free to add any bright or any color you would like to :-) She is so excited and loves color so be as creative as you wish :-)

I received from:

I was unable to mail my completed blocks as planned as the auditors would not leave me be :-( Will definetly mail them tomorrow.

I got 12 today! Its fun.. I have 2 blocks complete, hoping to get them mailed tommorow when I mail out my fabric :)

ok...so I am making my first block to send back and I have to say...I was paranoid about cutting the fat 8!! LOL...I kept thinking...I better not mess up--there won't be enough to make up for my mistake!!...what if my ruler slips and I mess up the cut? What if my seam allowances are off....GEESH! I had to tell myself...Lisa, we're QUILTERS! Just cut the fabric and go! LOL!!
