I got my package yesterday which was a great pick me up since I had a hospice client pass away. I can't wait to start another I spy. I myself like the small prints for the edges. Thanks all for the great fabrics.

I think I only received a couple this time that were so thin they were not usuable. This is also the first time that I didn't receive any just florals. I thought it was a great swap- thanks so much! Thanks for doing such a great job Rena!

Hope going through the new squares gave you a bit of an escape!

Here are some pouches I made from the squares received in the I Spy swap (may be a few from previous swaps, too). 
The larger ones are sized to be pencil cases, and the smaller ones fit most cell phones. They're good for any small items, though, such as medicine/vitamins, makeup, small toys, sewing supplies, etc. The larger ones take 4 charm squares (plus liner fabric) to make, and the smaller ones take 3 charm squares (plus liner fabric). They all have padding inside. Wish I could post a tutorial, but the assembly technique came from a Craftsy class, and is probably copyrighted. Here's a link: https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/class...-zip-way/58909

I received mine in the mail on the way out of town. I can receive emails, but cannot send them where I was. I am tickled pink with the blocks I received.
I've got another batch ready to go, but had to order some zippers, so I'm waiting on them to arrive.
