By the way, we have had one "lost" quilt... From the US to Ireland. It's somewhere in "the UK". Apparently there are limits to tracking. We hope it gets to its intended destination.

On another swap, it took three months for a person to get her block across the water. So there is definitely a good chance it will get there, just taking a "scenic" route.

Here it is, my GORGEOUS Baltimore Album Quilt from my partner, Carolyn...aka islandwiz1. I'm sorry it's taken so long to post pics....life has gotten in the way....and I have to keep stealing my quilt away from my 3 yo DGD, and my 6 yo son. They've both decided that the quilt is theirs, and that I don't need it LOL. I've already had sooooo many compliments on my quilt.....everyone LOVES, LOVES, LOVES it!!!!

Great! I am glad you like it. The little gadget is a wooden iron, finger press, that DH made for you. Your initials are on the back.

The photo she posted earlier showed the stars and looked so cool now to see it in person is going to be even more eventful. So glad I did this swap. If you insure those quilts and send priority mail, praise God, there has not been any issues. You have to live sometime and the reward is so worth the effort!!! I will have four beautiful quilts for four quilts sent.

I know, I'm on pins and needles waiting for my 3rd FQ set to arrivce in that swap... They'd have to pack me in ice and give me Ambien straight to the IV if I was swapping a whole quilt. Sheesh...
