SHAYSMEMA, you shouldn't have to start over. Just cut off the zips on the bags you've used, tape together and put into new envelopes. Should still be able to make the post today ....

We learned from our last swap to just wrap the blocks in plastic wrap. If there is anything that sticks up in your envelope, your postage goes up. If it fits through their slot, it is an envelope. Anything sticking up, or anything that makes your envelope thicker is considered a package and your postage will go up. Make them as flat as possible.

I used gallon bags, and cut off the zipper part. Then I cut each baggie in half from top to bottom. Then I put a folded-to-envelope-size F8 into each of the bag halves, and taped the two open edges of the baggie down, squeezing out all the air I could. In other words, I got two F8's packaged up using only one gallon-sized baggie.

Then I popped 'em into business-sized envelopes and sent them on their way. :)

WEEELLLLL. Aren't you just clever! ;)

Receive 1st 8th from moonrise!
Very nice.
Since this is my first Boomerang, I was wondering once we are finished with the block, do we mail back what's left of the 8th with the finished block?

I would like to keep the scraps from the squishies. I am thinking about incorporating them on the backside of my quilt, maybe as part of the label with everyones names and cities. I hope that is alright with you all. I certainly do not want/need the scraps back from my squishies that I am sending out. I can't wait for the post man to arrive this afternoon... Something coming in the mail is nice... times 35 is amazing!

I have not received the posts from page 14 on! I kept wondering why no one was talking! I don't know what's going on here, BUT I am waiting on labels from gracious April to send my fabric out. I have not seen any squishies but I put my sleeping bag next to the mailbox to wait...then the temp went up to heat index of 116, and I went in to the a/c. Must be why I don't have any squishies...not haunting the mailbox like I usually do...

Will catch up with ya'll very soon...
