oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! fabric! I've been keeping myself busy by learning how to foundation piece using freezer paper...not sure of the actual term as I'm new to the quilting world and typically wing it when I make things. Anyway, it has opened up a whole new world of AWESOME! I'm amazed at the detail and designs that can be made.
as others have said, you are doing wonderful taking on such a HUGE project. we are all waiting with great anticipaaa-aaation, and as much patience as our itchy little fingers will give us. hugs!

When we started this, I wasn't sure how it would go over. Before the board change we had around 212 signed up. Some people lost the forum and I never heard back from them. We also had a very long time to collect our FQ's and some people forgot about it. Then there were other factors like the economy, lost jobs, sickness, loosing loved ones and so on. I am quite happy with the amount of swappers that we still have. I never realized how indepth it would be.
If I did not care about everyone getting something from different areas, I could just throw all of the USA in 1 pile and the others in another pile, and then just pick from each pile and stick them in the return packages. Odds are, everyone would still get different FQ's from other places, but I want to make sure. Call me crazy!! Here is an example: Someone from say........ If someone from Pa had sent in 6 Fq's they might get something from.......Maine, Germany, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina. I am not sending back one of their own. That way that get all from other areas. How does that sound?????? If anyone wants one of their own back, please let me know. I will do it for you!!!
Now off to bed so I can get started on it again in the morning.
Blessings!

Carole, you are doing an awesome job!!! Hope you had a good night sleep and are well rested to tackle that huge project. Can't wait to see what I will get back, but take your time, I'm not in a hurry!!! :-)

Carole, you're the BEST! I am sure we will all love-love-love whatever you send us, since every region/country/contintent has a different variety of designs and colors available. It is almost like taking a cross-country trip before heading off to Europe or Asia or Australia ... collecting FQs everywhere along the way. I will patiently await my mementos of this imaginary journey.
Again, {{{{Hugs}}}} for doing such a fantabulous job!
