Thank you for all the good wishes and sweet treats sent for my special day. I dashed home from teaching my morning class today and went directly to the mailbox. Then I scampered inside to my basket of envelopes and began opening all of the treasures. What fun! Surprises and so many beauties!
I think I will do as one of this group did last year and make a quilt with each square being pieces from one of the participants. I have a pattern in hand (wink, wink) that will work beautifully. This will be a good use of 2.5s and will still give me plenty of left-overs for other projects.

Barbara, I have made a BIG "dent". Since January, I think I have used about 3000, with another 1000 or so left. Not all are from the swap but most are. I have been diligent to cut scraps from my quilts into standard sizes, including 2.5s. Three more tops, one of which is sandwiched, have been made this year. Oh, and I have a second version of our mystery partially finished, forgot about that. Tee-Hee, will it ever end? Nope and I am glad my fabric is still multiplying when I turn off the lights and close the door. It gives me lots of opportunities to share quilts with others.
I am so glad I joined this swap and have kept swapping year after year. What fun it has been! I have found a passion for these little treats. Thanks, Barbara.

WMUTeach.....looking forward to seeing your friendship quilt that you make with birthday squares.
