    You do not need to leave paper on for this swap (though you can if you want to). I think that may be a rule in other swaps because sometimes tearing paper off can distort the block, so people prefer to take it off in their own way. If you measure the blocks you took the paper off of and they are still the right sizes, you are fine without making more blocks.

    I hope that helps!

    Yeah! Thank you! I measured the blocks before and after the paper came off, and they were steam pressed, so there shouldn't be any distortion. Glad I don't have to redo, I'm about to move on to the next set tonight.

    So glad I am now officially in the group. While I can use my own blocks I really want to swap with all my friends and enjoy the finished quilt. I am thinking about writting everyone's Board name on their block. My 3 yr old GS is always wanting to know "who did it" or "who made it" and this will give us both added enjoyment talking about whatever catches his attention.

    OK, I am in. I am mailing my blocks off today. That is rare for me because I am rarely early for anything! Being a new quilter I am a little nervous and hope my blocks work well for whoever gets them. I don't have a picture to share yet, but the material has cats and pumpkins. I did a variation on a lantern pattern with bright orange , purple, gold and black colors.

    Yay!! I love getting packages early (hint hint to others ) But seriously it does help me spread out the recording of the packages over a few weeks rather than trying to do them all at once, plus inevitably there will be swappers that run out of time and have to drop, so if you just get the blocks done now, you don't have to worry about that!! The more swappers we have, the better variety for everyone!! Can't wait to see your lovlies!

    Cheers!

    So we can do machine embroidered blocks too if we want?
    Both sets don't have to be the same do they if your doing 2 sets?

    I PMed for two sets. One embroidered (hopefully). And IF I can manage more sets I'll send them. I found a PP cat and spiderweb. And I'll post the embroidery if it works.
