LOL!! Glad ya'll are all getting them, the last ones went out friday. The list was an effort to let you know who made what ..... the problem was that many people did what they signed on to do 20 squares and many people did more. There were more than 20 people in the swap. I had everyone's squares in their own stack all over my den. I went by the list and picked up one of each, as the stacks ran out I crossed them off the list I was currently working on and just added extra from the "extras" everyone made at the end. The best thing to do in the fall swap is to ONLY do the number of squares as there are the number of participants..no more no less and have every person MARK them somehow. Arlee and Smitty's Farm are the only two that marked theirs this time. Everyone should have ended up with somewhere of an average about 26 or 27 squares. They were not all sized exactly the same either and you can see now that it does make a difference in joining them. Being careful to make a pretty accurate 6" square will make either bordering them or joining them easier. I stitched 9 of mine together at the race track saturday. I am going to do 9 more for the back panel. Not sure if I will widen it with bottom squares or make it like a real tote bag and stitch it with just the 2 sides. I have a piece of felt for the liner and since I do not sew I thought I would hole punch some holes and tie the liner in with yarn and make like some yarn fringes all over it. I sort of have it in my head figured out, lol!! I do hope you use those stictch markers, I use mine all the time to keep the yarn from pulling out when I leave partially finished work laying around. You'll get "hooked" on them, lol!!
I think citygirlinthecountry did those bright yellow/lime/red ones Kris...her name is Anne.
oiu!!!!
