I finally had a moment to sit down and look at all the beautiful blocks. My hubby wanted to be sure to be there too. We both loved all the blocks. Some of the house blocks I might split up but all the floral ones I plan to use together and possibly add some more blocks from a panel and maybe one of the log cabins from the house blocks. I will post when the top is together. Thank you everyone for the amazing blocks and fun company over the many weeks. Special thanks to our fearless leader sewbizgirl and photo page organizer, this was very helpful, Janice McC.

Thanks also to Bonnie & Janice for the hard work. Just finished the hand binding, it’s time to pack. I almost can’t believe I got it done in time. I’m so grateful to all of you for your beautiful blocks. Hugs.

Hi all. I didn’t mention before but my friend received a terminal cancer diagnosis during our boomerang. I got my blocks today and pieced her Halloween top and the backing fabric tonight. I’ve never asked my LAQ for an emergency all-over, she is quilting it tomorrow in time for my flight overseas Thursday to see my friend. A huge heartfelt hug to all of you, I used all the blocks except the one I made, LOL. And she gets her sexy witch Alexander Henry fabric on the back. I think it turned out just great. I’ll try to get a better photo for the gallery but it’s raining tonight. Hugs, hugs, hugs!!
Sorry to hear about your friend, hugs to you. I know she will treasure such a special gift. The quilt looks wonderful.

So glad you enjoyed the swap, SusieQ! Are you hooked? Because we do this twice a year.... I know you'll be back.
I checked the tracking info and almost all of you have received your packages today. Two were still "out for delivery". Terri, I think yours may be one day behind. I hope you are all delighted with what you receive.
Yesterday I put together one of the two kids' quilts I am making with my Caterpillar equipment blocks. I had found the cute gray CAT tracks fabric to use with the blocks, and had just enough to sash, border and bind both of the two quilts. Here's a photo of the unquilted top.

I just opened my package and I am overwhelmed with the talent in this group. My blocks are simply beautiful and my family will be lucky to get one of the quilts at Christmas. Thank you for being a part of my quilting family. I love this swap.
