I changed my block from my original choice too! It wasn't the correct size... This week I found something I liked, cut it out to test it, and it was too small too! I don't know how I could so poorly pay attention to what I'm reading! So, now (at last!) I've found the 12" size pattern-- it's nearly the same as the first block I chose. My first one was called Basket of Chips. This one is called Grape Basket. Still planning to mail this week.

this is the block I have decided on. I got it from Delaware Quilts, and they call it AUNT ELIZAS STAR. I am using only 2 colors.

My fabric finally got here. Yay! I'll get it ready to go no later than Monday evening, and will hopefully get it in the mail on Tuesday.

Mine is all ready to go out Monday. This is going to be a different kind of fun swap

I've put my package in the mail to Barb today. It's getting more exciting... at last! We've been waiting a long time on this one. I can't wait to see what I get to make for everyone!

The F8 I sent you is not very exciting, sorry. It's my background color... But I got the idea from somebody else-- who said they were thinking of doing that? :-) I thought, "I like that, I'd like all my background to match."

Well... I didn't have enough of it, so 8 match and 4 match... but I can make a nice layout with that.

I am home.....totally jetlaged, Forcing myself to stay awake until evening. Got 3 big packages. The Mama Hauser, Paperpieceme and LJDugas (big and small). I can't wait to see what pattern everyone picks. It is going to be so much fun. Will be functioning much better tomorrow.

Good to hear you are home and resting. I understand jet lag from my trips to Japan. Seems worse on the return trip coming back home. My last return trip....I decided to go to Walmart to pick up some food basics to try to stay awake. When I walked back to my car...I just kept walking past my car to edge of the parking lot before I realized the plan was not to walk home. Duuhhhhh! LOL! Rest well!

Welcome home!

Mailed my F8s this morning. Yay! Going to work on a sample block. I chose the Star Flower. I varied my F8s by cutting 3 each of 4 coordinating fabrics in the collection - which will give some variety to the 12 blocks of the same pattern. Can't wait to get started on this one.

Sending my tracking number to God's Child today.
