Awesome blocks everyone! Mine came today :) Now to play with a layout or two!

I got my blocks today, thanks everyone and thanks norbanaquilts for all of your work. Next comes the Strip your Stash. This is so exciting. I guess I'd better get working on my table runner, red/white/blue and snowman swap. Oh my!

Mine were here when I returned from my quilt retreat in Vermont. Thanks Norbana! Great job of hosting!

I have my layout! I'm going to back it in snuggly pink fleece. Of course, this picture is really just so I can remember when I finally get around to finishing this one (probably in July!)

Got mine today. Beautiful blocks. Took them stright to my aunt that is 89 years old and we tried to pick a favorite. Could not do it, they are all so nice.
Thanks Norbana.
Now I have to start getting excited for the red/white/blue.

oh those are beautiful, I really love the one with the rose as the focal point, I can't remember who made that one but I hope there is one in my pkg when I get it. Can't believe how fast these are landing when they didn't go out til Sat.

I got my blocks yesterday! Thank you so much everyone!

alaskasunshine 05-04-2010 06:33 PM

I got my blocks and they were all beautiful, HOWEVER when I opened the ziplock it all smelled of cigarette smoke :( This may offend some smokers but I am a 5 year cancer survivor and I don't want to go through that again. I am not being insensitive to those of you that smoke but in my situation I got a horrible headache immediatly. Left the house for a walk after I ziplocked the beautiful blocks back into the bag.

Now I have to figure out how to salvage these blocks. This is a process I should not need to incur.

I am sorry if my comments are upsetting to anyone. I am just highly sensitive to smoke smells.

samroberts01 05-05-2010 04:11 AM

I got my blocks yesterday and I absolutly love them all!! Thank you to everyone! I will post a picture later of all of my blocks together!

nena 05-05-2010 05:03 AM

Alaska Sunshine, I noticed that too. But it was only 3 or 4 blocks and I took them and put them in soda water to soak for a few days. Hope that helps.
Your block was one of my favorite ones. I loved that fabric that had the words hope in it. All of them together were beautiful. Happy I reveived one.

AkAngel 05-05-2010 03:23 PM

I received my blocks today, they are all wonderful. Thanks to everyone who participated to help make this a fun and successful exchange.

All non-smokers are highly sensitive to smoke smells. It always amazes me that some - very few - quilters smoke. To go through all the cost of fabric, the time spent, etc. only to have your beautiful quilt smell like cigarettes.
