I guess I am in that group too, ladies. I came up with a different number, several times. Finally got to what I thought was the right number, but had DGD count again, to be safe(er) Probably wouldn't hurt for Chriss to count again on mine!

Yeah, I agree, Chriss please count mine, I am pretty sure I had extras, but since I made two sets, I want to be sure. I counted them 4 or 5 times and got a different number each time. I will make more if I didn't have enough.

I put my blocks in the mail today. It says they are expected to arrive on Saturday. Tracking 9505513909079038274912.

I hope I counted right. I'm pretty sure I did. If not, I'll send more. Lori

Lori, I will look for your blocks to arrive.

I will count this weekend. I have quilt group on Saturday morning and have one more set ready to sew into 4 patches, I will also count mine too

It does seem like a lot of blocks because they aren't being sewn into 12 inch blocks Im really glad we did it this way so we could have more variety and sew them together in our own way.

I really like this block.

I kept getting different counts, too. But I kept recounting them until I came up with the right number twice in a row. Plus, I did them while camped with Cindy for 3 days and she ironed and counted, too. But, I appreciate any recounting because I've STILL been known to make mistakes! Often!

And Chriss, even though it makes for a lot of counting, I'm glad, too, that you had us send in the blocks like we are doing. You are right = so many options to arrange them. It's going to be fun!

Today we are supposed to get snow. It won't amount to much if it comes but I'm calling it a sew day.

I will count and recount your blocks. I have recounted mine many times.

Maryz, got your money, thank you.

Lori, I will look for your blocks.

Have a fun day girls.

I spent time this morning counting blocks and checking block size. Here are my findings so far.

Becky, you sent two sets and not one block is the same as the other, you must have a sewing room full of scraps. my gosh, with two sets that makes 136 different 6 1/2 inch blocks. amazing.

Vinae, you also had two sets, your blocks were perfect as well. you sent 136 swappable blocks plus you sent three extra sets ( 12 blocks) I read your note and I will gratefully keep the 12 blocks, thank you very much.

Maryz, your blocks were great, the count came out perfectly, thank you for the extra few dollars to help with postage.

Sue, your blocks were perfect as well.

Tina, you also had marvelous blocks, thanks for the extra to help with postage.

Maryrose, You sent 20 sets rather than 17 sets, you will be getting 12 of your 6 1/2 inch blocks back with your swapped blocks.

Marygo, you sent me 20 sets plus two 6 1/2 inch blocks. you will be getting 14 of your blocks back with your swapped blocks.

Lori, your blocks should hit my mail box very soon. the tracking says out for delivery.

you girls really have some great fabric choices. this will be a gorgeous quilt.

Chriss
