June 1st Quilt Block Exchange

we sure are going to have one beautiful quilt.

OK, this might be a little silly, but how is everyone mailing their blocks? They're too big to mail flat... folded in half in a padded envelope? Rolled, and mailed in a tube? In a Priority box, squashed in however they'll fit? Are you putting them in a Ziploc? I think only a 2-gallon Ziploc is big enough, but I can get some when I go shopping if they're needed. I'm getting ready to mail, and it just occurred to me that 12-1/2" squares are going to be difficult to fit in any average mailing envelope...

I use the red and white mailers from the PO they are not the padded ones and with a little encouragement they fit. I have not put mine in ziploc bags but that doesn't sound like a bad idea. I also fold a mailer preaddressed and stamped in the envelope. Just talk nice to them and they will fit for you.

OK, mine are in the mail, both sets! On to some block of the month sets that have been waiting patiently.

With my blocks, being in four sections, I fold one section on one side over and another section on an adjoining side over. When I stack them, I rotate them so that all the folded areas are not on top of themselves. They fit very nicely into a one gallon zip lock bag and I use the milipac mailers at the post office.

I have received the blocks from our British ladies. Total of 5 sets well 6 counting mine are here and waiting.

I'll be mailing mine out first thing tomorrow!! I have them ready, and I think that Oklahoma will get a few days of good weather for the mail to get through....

I can't wait to see all of our blocks. I already have a plan for the quilt so I am excited to get them.
