Wonderful! I'll be looking for mine about Thursday. Priority used to be "two lbs, two dollars, two days". Anyone remember those days? :D
Now it's at least three days for me.
I'll try to remember to get a picture of them all spread out.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Eventually someone will have to start a topic for posting pictures of all these finished quilts so we can see all the original ideas for putting them together.
:D

Yes, we definitely want to see finished pictures! I'm just itching to put my orange and black top together. Maybe I'll do that today but I other things that I really should do first.

I waited until after the Monday morning rush on the PO to take packages. I had to use two great big bins to carry them. We dumped them on the sorting table. It must have been a slow afternoon because she acted kinda excited about so many packages. She was very helpful with the internationals also.

There may be a few that didn't go out yesterday. As the postlady checked postage she was going to set aside any that needed additional postage. I'll take care of that this morning when I go for my mail.

I soooo wanted to take a picture of all the blocks laid out in the church social hall. I got everything laid out and then got my camera and climbed on a chair to have a bird's eye view of the blocks. Went to turn my camera on and....nothing. Apparently my dh (who never does anything preventative) took my batteries out of my camera and put them in the charger without me knowing. So...boohoo...but I don't have any pics.

There was someone, I forget who...sorry, that had a UPS envelope. They might get their blocks first.

I'm very excited for everyone to get their blocks. I've enjoyed them for 2 months now and can't wait for you all to enjoy them also. It feels like Christmas and I love giving people gifts. I get more excited about that than getting them myself!

I can't wait to see who's first.......

Ok, just got back from the PO. ALL blocks are now on their way home. Once again thanks everyone for taking part. I hope you had as much fun as I did. Here's hoping that all the blocks make it to their intended destination!

Thank you Colletta!!! Thank you for doing a great job on the swap - doing all the work, being encouraging and keeping us all informed. This was very cool to get to do something with quilters from around the world. Thanks for making that possible for us. You are just Wonderful!!

Well I can't believe that my packages came! Way to go PO. I didn't expect them to arrive until tomorrow!
Thanks again, Colletta! I'll be spending the day looking and fondling your great blocks! What fun this is going to be!

Should we all start our own topics under pictures when we get our blocks or should someone start just one thread??

Maybe just one thread, otherwise there will be quite a few B&W threads. But its up to you.
