So far I have not signed any. I tried a couple of them, but they didn't look good to me and the pen kept stopping and pulling on the fabric.

Try putting a piece of sandpaper at the back of the fabric - I use a P240. It holds it firm enough so that you can write on it.

I will be doing the same thing today. Joined so many different swaps and trying to get all done...LOL Can't help it...It's just way too much FUN!!!

cmsmith, Oh my if I counted all I threw away , it would have been at about 300 LOL

That's b/c I was working at night and not at my brightest! Now I have a method and following it!! :P

Well, I put it on the back burner for a spell and have about 158 waiting. Not my favorite thing to write ...my hand writing is sucky! Hope y'all won't be too picky but wouldn't blame ya if you chunked them. It will be a thrill to see all the places and the nic names, just too much fun on those accounts. Donna, this is great fun.

Blessings,
Ruth

I can't wait till we get all these blocks also...I was asking a friend how I would put these together after I got them all back. She suggested doing a 9 patch with the names and then a blank block then another 9 patch and so on. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Mish :0)

Me too!

A 16 patch gives the look of a trellis, and can alternate with a 12' (finished) block. Might be another possibility.

I can't wait to see all of them together!

That's another idea too....Will definately have plenty of siggie blocks.
