    GracefulAnn, Great idea about mailing internationally early. Thank you! I'm mailing internationally too, and I'll try that as well. Any others who are mailing internationally, feel free to mail early if you can!
    I'm just about done with my border and should be posting a picture of it soon too. :-)

    I'm finished with my round on this one! I couldn't resist leaving it red and white. Making an all red and white quilt is on my to-do list. :-)

    TwinRiverFarms, your center had too many points, whoaaa! I generally cut points off, or don't match seams up (I'm not a perfectionist, I just like to get it sewn). :-p :-) That was a lovely block you made there! I hope you like the addition!

    Holy cow, that is gorgeous! I would love to take credit for the nice points, but I would have to lie. The center was part of a block swap here on QB several years ago, but I have always had it on my wall because I liked it so much. And now I wish I had kept track of the person who made it, so I could PM them this picture of it. Hey, maybe it will be recognized so I can give proper credit. Vovoa, I am impatiently waiting for the mail, and plotting the next round. I think a splash of the bright colors in the next round is called for, with a bit of the black/white theme. GraceAnn, heal well, dear, don't push too hard, ok?
    I'm fine with 3 weeks turnaround , if you all want to do that.

    I agree TwinRiver I tried that for the outside boarder but wasn't feeling it. But, now with the outer boarder on it I believe it would look awesome to bring the bright colors in. Good luck!

    Wow Givio that's gorgeous!!

    TwinRiver I'm jelly! I would love to work on your top. The red and white just pop and I believe your quilt is going to be amazing.

    I haven't finished this but I want some feedback. Do you think this is working? I pulled colors from the beautiful swirl pattern and my son helped me find the corner block. It has a similar swirl in it.

    I'm so so sorry. I tried to delete the extras but I'm still sorting out how to post it seems. I wanted to crop my feet out!

    givio, that looks like a finished quilt, not something four more people will be adding to. Beautiful!
