WooHooooooooooooooo! Got my stamps today. Thank you to all, and a special thank you to CCorazone for donating stamps to our on-going project. I've only gone thru half of the packages, and once again, very few duplicates.

Great job ladies, and thank you to Mariposa for hosting another wonderful swap.

Surprise package yesterday!! I opened it in the car last night with my kids and they thought all my tiny squares were funny. But they enjoyed hearing where all y'all are from!

Thanks everyone! Fraew, Marcia, mosher92, Mariposa, goldendog55, Siennasgigi, Judy-68, Arienn, leakus, havplenty, Julie, MsGrace, Barri1, Girlscouts1, Evie, TwistedQuilter, sew4nin, Shelrox, Carla79, sustraley, and finely, Ccorazone for her sweet donation!

Now what to do...sort into colors or just jump in and sew randomly!

Thank YOU Mariposa!!!

Than you CCorazone for the squares. That was so nice to get. I love all of my squares and the variety was awesome. It got me in the mood to start sewing them again. I now have over 10,000 squares and still need soooo many more so anybody who wants to swap one on one just let me know. I will swap fq's or squares or pretty much anything.
Thank you all again.
Judy

I've got my packet. I am afraid of open the bags! I know I"ll make a mess! What pattern are you using?
Thanks Mariposa and all the swappers!

to all the swappers: if you feel so inclined, please remember to leave feedback for your swap host and the swappers you received stamps from.

if you do a 60 x 70 lap quilt you will need 4,200. you can calculate from there on how big (or small) you want your quilt. one psq i am making requires 10,000 pieces at 100" x 100" and the other will take about 9,000 squares. i have found strip piecing to be a godsend. so i will have pieced squares and strip piecing in both quilts.
