I did not count them. Kind of overwhelmed, actually. But, I love them. Thanks everyone.
Blessings, Ruth

I have my blocks too... they are wonderful! I want to get them all listed in some sort of a spread sheet so I can see just where they are all from. It's great to get these.. I plan on making a wall hanging so they will be up where everyone can read where all these blocks came from.. I know it will be a great conversation starter! thank you everyone!

My power was off for about three hours last night so I spent the time with a candle looking at all my blocks again.
I noticed that quite a few don't have the board names on them just the real name so I have no idea who they are from.
When I get done sorting out those ones I may need your help figuring out board names!
:-D

I picked mine up at the Post Office Tuesday. I spent the evening going through them. It was interesting to see fabrics from all those places. I counted mine and I received 162, plus 5 of mine back. So, I am thinking about including one of mine in the quilt and using the other 4 in the corners. Thanks again to those involved in this swap.
I really enjoyed being part of it and I hope to create a quilt that will be around long after I am gone that will tell a story of quilting in the early part of this century.

I too am missing Maryland, New Mexico, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming to have a complete set.. Anyone from those states that would volunteer to make a couple extra blocks? I'd be happy to send a SASE to help out. Any takers??

I'm not sure how the blocks were divided.. I also sent in 180 and got 160 back.. BUT.. many of us, including me, said "please give them out.. I don't need a bunch of mine back" and "anyway you divided them up will be just fine by us".. so they did and I'm very happy with the ones I recieved.. Perhaps some who had a few less than were needed got some extras back.. I hope so.. I'd rather they have them than me!
I think our exchangers did a fabulous job.. thank you again and again!!
I would like to complete the set.. and pick up those pesky 5 states that are missing! Still looking for Maryland, New Mexico, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming...
