I'm debating making a second set if I get time, and the right block (I bought some more fabric at a show yesterday). Have to see though. No chance I could do enough sets to get one of each though. Not got the time.
Have we got some idea yet of how the internationals need to pay postage?

That will be interesting - but then again it will depend on how many blocks are being swapped internationally.
I have not yet decided on how many will actually be submitted by myself....just taking it one block at a time until I complete a set and I'll see from there.
Have just wasted the morning's efforts of cutting..... cut all the 3 7/8 black squares short of square. ie 3 7/8 x 3 5/8. I could kick myself.....probably wouldn't have happened if I'd done the cleaning and tidying instead!!!

International shippers: I was thinking to take a set of 12 to the PO and see how much it would be for me to ship it to you and you just send the $ and I'll buy the postage here. But then I thought of the currency problem. Any ideas? I'm going to see how they did it for the blue and white swap. If anyone knows already please let us know.
Stay tuned....

For the blue and white stars swap the lady arranging it had an online shop, so she put the postage cost in her shop with our names so we knew which was ours, and we bought it via paypal.
I could probably exchange money for dollars though, if thats easier, since we're planning a trip to America later in the year. Probably have to round up to the nearest dollar though, so as not to put change in.
Just let me know whats easier. Theres a while to think about it yet.

You can send $ to ANYONE with an email addy on Paypal. All you have to do Collette is let all the interantionals know how much theirs would be and they can send it to you via Paypal.
It is very simple to set up an account to direct deposit it into your bank account..then all you deal with is the small transaction fee they charge..It would probably cost less than actually mailing you an envelope with the $ in it.

ALL of you are doing a bang up job on getting those blocks done, and as an innocent bystander, I am really enjoying your productivity, creativity, and grand patterns - - even that simple one. Nothing is ever simple if someone is doing it!
Don't believe those people that say "If I can do it, anyone can do it!" ... if anyone could do it, we wouldn't need to be giving quilts to our friends, families, and favorite charities .... Go, TEAM, GO! HOO RAH! :!:
