I think if you can put the quilts in a plastic bag and suck all the air out of them, they will fit in smaller packaging and then you can use flat rate shipping. I had a wedding gown shipped from China and it was only $10... they marked it as "a gift" to avoid tariffs...illegal because it was a business. I didn't continue doing business with that company because the construction quality was poor and their unethical practices.

Since Terri is busy...I'll jump in and answer a few questions..
1. Yes...you can participate from UK...we'd LOVE to have you!
2. Your center can be rectangular...it can be any size up to 24" (finished) either or both ways. Just keep in mind that the 1st round will be 3"...so if you make it a dimension that is divisable by 3, it will make it easier to work with...other than that....get creative!
3. Generally when shipping international you can use the flat rate envelopes for the 1st couple of rounds, then you end up having to use the med. size flat rate box or the flimsy regular priority envelope due to the size. It usually runs around 20-25 bucks to ship near the end not including insurance.
I see the list is still growing :shock: :D

Thanks for answering for me Patti.
Anyone, doesn't matter where they live can join.
I'm almost done with tweaking the rules and should have them up tomorrow, I HOPE!
So far we have 77 people that are interested. I'm sure that list will grow once I put the Sign-up list on.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO NOT PM ME ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION YET!
I'm not set up for it.
Right now it's JUST to see WHO IS INTERESTED!
Those that will be gone and away from computers until mid August, I have asked for those, but PLEASE, if you aren't going to be gone, DO NOT SEND ME THE INFO YET!
I'm keeping track of everyone that is wanting/showing interest, so PLEASE be patient. Start your centers between 12 and 24 inches square.

We appreciate you handeling this. We're like race horses chompin on the bit ready to get out of the gate. Should we start a separate thread for the center pictures only?

IRR II, which is finishing up right now, had 5 rounds of borders, each with a predetermined size: 3", 5", 6", 7", 8". Take the dimensions of your center and add the border dimensions to get your final quilt size. For example, my IRR II center was 24" square. It's final size will be 82" square. For IRR III, my center will be 15" square, equaling a finished size of 73" square (if the border sizes are as those mentioned above).
Since I have never done this could you tell me what you mean by the first round is 3"?Is each round given a specific size and if so how large does the top end up being?
