Mailed the "brights" today and have the I Spy ready, waiting for the "go" signal.

Keep 'em coming in!!! WOO HOO!!! Well, my lil man is moving up at daycare and it is definately harder on me. As soon as he gets in the new room he runs from me and if I'm in the room too long from across the room he waves at me and says bye bye momma bye bye! Forget kisses now, he wants no part of it at school. He is Mr. Independant now. He has also decided that he wants nothing to do with me right now and only wants NaNa or DaDa and of course neither are around right now. Thankfully "DaDa" is coming home for the weekend. Whew...gonna be a long one!!!

Hugs and hopefully I'll get a lot in over the weekend!!! ;)

No packages today.

I am surprised mine didn't get to you already. Hopefully tomorrow it will get to you.

sent mine this morning tumrub

Mailed my blocks today.

Got 2 more today!!!

I know how you feel - they grow up very fast... My baby starts Kindergarten at the end of the month and is very excited to go.

Another day dropping off at daycare, another day I bawled after I left the facility. My husband and our best friend laughed at me on the phone while I sat there crying because my lil man is growing up and won't tell me bye and doesn't want anything to do with me. It probably doesn't help that his old teacher, who I talk to almost every night, is on vacation this week, so I don't have that extra reassurance this week. :( UGH!!! Oh and he turned 18 months on Satuday. 18 months ago I was blessed with an amazing lil guy who I love more than anything!!! Tomorrow we get to go do shots, another sad face. :( Hugs and I hope all are doing better!!! Can't wait to see what comes today!!! WOO HOO!!! Bring on the BRIGHTS!!!

4 more packages in today!!! Only 15 left to come in!!! WOO HOO!!!

mailed mine this morning

Mailed mine today

No packages yesterday or today. ;) Hopefully MONDAY!!! :)

marybrace - here is what I have...let me know your thoughts!!! (Please ignore kiddie toys...)

I was thinking about leaving some squares as is and cutting some on the diaganol and sewing them together for a little bit of diversity. What do you think???

What is the width of the fabric (two blocks) and what is the size of one block...this will give me an idea of the size I can make the name panel you want to include. What is the finished quilt size?
When I know more about the individual sizes and the overall size you want, I can visualize more. I thought I had an abundance of red, white, and blue fabric but YOU win...

Mary Ellen

Hmmm...I'll measure the width tomorrow. The size of 1 block is about 10". The red/white/blue fabrics are 10-1/2". I was thinking between lap quilt and twin sized. Probably 60" x 70"? That "stash" is compliments of luvTooQuilt!!! I did her Stars & Stripes swap and voila! Plus I have red/white/blue fabric in my stash. :)

YES FOR THOSE OF YOUR ADMIRING HER "HOLIDAY SQUARES" THEY WERE FROM MY 10.5 MONTHLY SWAP.

oh sorry was I a bit loud.. lol.... :-D
I knew those squares looked familiar.. Love the panel... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Isn't it wonderful? I'm making a quilt for William's teacher whose room he just moved out of. Her husband is retired military and BOTH of her baby boys are in the military, one is Air Force and the other is Marine. The one in the Marines is a Staff Sargent. She is so proud of both of them. The quilt is for Christmas. She is a wonderful teacher and has become an amazing friend that I absolutely adore. :) If y'all have any ideas on what to do...let me know. I'm at a design loss. The wonderful marybrace is trying to help me decide on an embroidery square for the middle of the square. ;) And luv, if I hadn't of done the swap, I'd be at a loss and scrambling to find red/white/blue fabrics for it. :)
