Deadline to send these teeny-tiny squares is November 19th, right? :-D :-D :-D

:-D Just wanted to make sure I wasn't messy up. I thought I had all of my deadlines written on the calendar correctly. But, that doesn't mean it is accurate. I am half way to 50 different fabrics.

My slotted mat makes it really quick if I line things up and don't get in a hurry. I always forget I have it! :D

This is the third swap I've been in. What I do now is I have a container (one instant cappucino comes in) with a label that says 1 1/2" to trade. As I have 1 1/2" scraps from projects I cut them down to squares and toss them in. If you have a 3" square, cut it in 4ths. Then when the swap comes around or you see someone on the board who wants to swap--voila you have several cut and ready to go!

I mailed mine out priority on Friday. They didn't have any of the other envelopes, so I just took the easy way. You should get it soon.

OK - all of my PMs are answered and the board is updated. I will head to the post office some time this morning. I went Friday and they were closed for lunch - grr and then went Saturday and they were locking the doors as I was at the door - grr again.

Sign up closes today and mailing deadline is this Friday. There are usually a few stragglers, but I would just love love love to get all these swapped out over the Thanksgiving holiday and mailed back out the Monday after Thanksgiving. We shall see!

I do need to paint the dining room after they finish the sheetrock. But think how cool it would be to use all of your squares and make a postage stamp wall in my dining room. It would take forever! :)

OK MISSI - you talked me into this swap - I don't know why - but I can't pass it up.

I was thinking it would take soooo long and too much effort to take out all my yardage and cut a strip from 50 fabrics.

Then the light bulb went ON - I already have 1 1/2" wide strips I'm not doing anything with - 37 of them to be exact! A few more of 2" strips cut down and I'll be ready to mail by the 19th!

So sign me up for 15 sets of 50 1 1/2" charms!
Thanks (I think :) )

A quick question - are these addicting? LOL
