It won't be long and I will have enough blocks to complete a quilt. Thank you again for swapping with me. You are really so special.

Oh, Karen. Are they ok?

The June blocks will also be sent out Monday. We hardly had any participants. Should we quit the game?

Blueribbontoes...so sad the blocks are ruined. :-( They are covered with machine oil and globs of grease. Even ripped, they was in a zip lock baggie...didn't do no good. Does anyone have any idea how to get that stuff out?

Has anyone responded to you about getting grease out? If not, check with an auto mechanic. I had a friend long ago who gave me some "degreaser" that she put right into the washing machine along with her husband's clothing that got greasy while he worked. Of course, it might be something that is no longer made, but it can't hurt to check. You might also try rubbing it with shampoo that that is also designed to cut grease.

Granny216! i love the block you sent me for MAY! It is beautiful! I will post a pic asap!

Biblio...Thank you! I never thought about that! I will give it a try, I have a friend that owns a shop, he might be of help! I have soaked them in oxy clean for days now. I don't want them to dry out, afraid it wouldn't come out then. I am also going to try peroxide, it does wonders on whites.

I love it. It is so pretty and will be prefect for my spring flower quilt. Thank you so much.

Upps, this block is from Magnolia......Boy I am really mixed up getting what goes or come from where. LOL. Anyway, thank you Magnolia.

:shock: I was going to say the Post Office sure is fast since I just mailed your block about 2 hours ago!!!!! You should get yours in about 3 days. I can take credit for that lovely block you recieved if you want me too! LOL but I think Magnolia might get a little upset :hunf:

I got your block today. It is even prettier than the picture. Thank you so much. I am going to try and get the one for you done this week. This swap is so much fun.
