I just got back from Staples and I got a box of 50 assorted bright colored "greeting card" envelopes in size 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 inches for under $10.00 I am happy and all ready!!

I agree, they get ripped open all the time. I use the 5 by 7, this way I feel safe in sending them.

I won't use a letter envelope, not taking that kind of chance with my fabric or someone's block.

Elisabrat, mine are stuffed and ready to address. Just a suggestion to everyone... label your envelope some way so it says Boom 8 and then then group you're assigned to. So many of us are in the FQ and F8 swaps and 2 of these that it will make it so much easier to be able to go right to the spreadsheet. PLease?????

Mine are in zip lock bags and labeled..just waiting to put them in the mailing envelopes until I get the names.

At least at this point I know what fabric I am going to use. I have been busy quilting on the last. Getting the quilts ready for giving. Maybe I will get the fabric cut tonight and see if any envelops left from last swap. Can't wait!!!!!
