I'm still working, working, working! I like how these are turning out and I'm hoping everyone else will too.

I'll post a pic of them later.

I would like to give everyone a HINT: Make sure you put the Envelope addressed to JODY on the OUTSIDE and the one to yourself on the INSIDE.

On a side note, it takes less than a day for mail to leave home post office and get to your house. Back to the Post Office I go.

I did that the last time we sent blocks out.

Well it really was the PO that did it. I gave him the packages and he put them together for me.

horsejody I will be done tomorrow.

I have 5 to do and they take me about 1/2 each to complete. I can't work on them until my DH leaves to race a horse so they will go out on, what is today? Thursday

Marlin, that is hilarious! Good one!

I am finishing my last block right now.

I am hoping to get them in the mail tomorrow or at worst on Thursday.

I still have to clip some threads and roll the sticky thing over them to pick up loose strings, but other than that.......I'M DONE!

I took a photo of all the blocks together. Looks good. I've never done this block before.

 

[ChevygirlBeth]

All Done!

I ended up using two different colors because I ran out of one fabric. I'll try to post some pics later.

I cannot find my labels anywhere, so I'm going to cheat and use some of my address labels.

 

[TammyTX]

...never participated in a swap before...am I supposed to put labels on them??

 

[newchickenfamily]

Nice TammyTX! As far as labels go, everyone attaches their name, BYC name and where they live. I just print it out on address labels and stick them on. You can write it and pin them on, whatever! We like to know who made what! Can't wait to get your block!

Your blocks are awesome Tammy, in fact that would be a gorgeous quilt all by itself!!! Marlin, that is funny, sorry to laugh, guess we've all had our "moments" at the post office lately..that place just provokes a brain freeze I think!!! My postage went off yesterday for the holiday blocks after gettig crazed over the stupid speeches they give the other day I sealed those up to Welman with no return postage or envelope inside and had to send that yesterday. Does clear up any mystery about why they are plagued with a bad history doesnt it?!!! Getting excited about everyone's blocks!!!

 

[ChevygirlBeth]

Here are the two color variations I ended up with.

I can't wait to get everyone's blocks! So far they all look beautiful! Hoping to have time to stop at the post office today.
