I think I've mentioned that I started my Postage Stamp blocks using fabric swatches from Keepsake Quilting. I finally began putting together 64-patch blocks that will finish to seven inches. I don't have enough for a quilt yet, but hopefully that will happen sometime this year. I have dozens of four-patches waiting to be sewn together, but here are the ones I've done so far.
The blocks in no particular order

Just a reminder we swap %100 cotton. No flannel, satin, corduroy, knits, etc. If you are cutting scraps you got from someone else and you aren't sure if it is cotton, please just don't send it.
Thanks for a great winter swap folks and I can't wait for the packages to start rolling in again.
Also - it isn't required but I suggest you send your sets to me in a ziplock bag labeled with your name and address. This way the sets have a better chance if staying dry the envelope gets wet and if the envelope gets torn open your sets are still contained. Last swap a few people had envelopes torn when they got them and they were missing sets. One swapper had one of her baggies sent to her.

Got my baggies Saturday. Loved going thru them and sorting by color. I had started collecting before because of a twin postage stamp quilt done by a friend. Wish I'd joined sooner. Thanks to everyone, I'm hooked. Have Neutrals ready and waiting to cut.
