Thanks Sandpat! :wink:

But remember, this is for United States packages only. Any going to a different country, including Canada, do not insure. The person who it is sent to will have to pay a tax based on the insured amount to receive the package, somewhere around 12-16%. And it seems to take significantly longer to clear Customs.

Thank you - $100 it is. Are we only sending a postcard/pic or including a fat quarter too? I read in another thread they are sending a fat quarter and a postcard. When it gets back to the original maker they have a present to go along with their quilt, or does that get more expensive to ship and harder to keep track of?

You are sooo right Gai...thanks for pointing that out. Based on the time it is taking to get to some of the countries...we are recommending that you DO ship it Priority...but don't insure it! And make sure you check with who you are sending to about the $amount to put in the "value" box on the customs form..(typically $20-$25) and make sure you mark it GIFT!

We'd only agreed upon a postcard/pic. I know some other groups are adding FQ's also. I'm fine with either. It will add to shipping a bit, but shouldn't be tremendous. What would you all like to do?

If we decide to send a FQ as well, I will have to send it separately. I mailed Tisha's square along yesterday.

I forgot you'd already sent Tisha's on. Thanks for the reminder. It does seem like it may be a bit late to run out to get a FQ before Tuesday.

Tomorrow is the mailing day! A few reminders:

Please let me know when you've sent and received.

According to the rules, this round is still open for turning the center on point and adding corner triangles rather than an all-around border, if you so choose.

Don't forget to add in a postcard or picture to travel the rest of the journey with the center.

I look forward to hearing from all of you soon!

Jen

These sure are beautiful!!!!

Hi Jen,

I received the center you sent yesterday. Now for the dumb question, I don't understand what you meant by turning the center on point and adding corner triangles. Can you please describe how this is done? I feel soooo stupid for asking, but this one may look beautiful on point. I just want to try it to see.

Thank you
