Oh my gosh, everyone's blocks are SO pretty! I can't wait to get my hands on them!

I have only done one other swap and let me tell you, it was the fastest and easiest quilt I ever made...all the piecing done, just figured out how to lay the blocks out, decide on borders, find backing fabric and bada-bing, bada-BOOM, it was done! (I tied that one, so putting it together was REALLY quick).

Carin... your hearts came in the mail today! Really cute!!! Thanks for the Easter Basket cookie cutter... the boys will have fun with that!

Just waiting to hear from Teacups! Not sure if her blocks are on the way... I am swapping out and mailing blocks home on Wednesday!!!

This has been fun everyone! You all did a great job! Thanks for making this a special quilt!

If I don't at least hear from her TODAY I will be swapping them out tonight without birdhouses... and we will have to make our own... I do not want to sound mean but we have had 4 months to get these done and a deadline is a deadline... it is not fair to those who got theirs done and to me on time to hold it up... plus all these bags are taking up a lot of room! LOL! I won't seal them until Tuesday night in case they come in I can toss them in your bags! But if they come in after Tuesday Teacups blocks will be returned to her unswapped!
That is why COMMUNICATION is important!

Yes Chris... I will email you all the pattern for the birdhouse! I am hoping they are in route... but haven't heard one way or the other! I will email them to you all tonight just in case! I have the whole top sewn together except for the birdhouse! This is such a pretty quilt... I hope you all like it as much as I do!!! You all did a terrific job on it!

Yes Carolyn it is... I was going to email an updated one that does not waste the space for the background square... I just figured out how to do that in EQ... still learning! But the original one is posted at http://apolta.wordpress.com/through-the ... ilt-along/
if you want to get started...

If two people are not sending in their blocks what will happen to the extra blocks? Just wondering.
