I do the Block of the Month swap and for 6 months did batiks as my theme -- got 60 fabulous blocks and made a gorgeous scrappy-look batik quilt.

Can someone tell me if we can use Batiks or is that not a good idea.

Angie - I hear that all of the time. They are not trained on how to use the most economical way to ship. :-) I would press them flat, cover them in saran or a ziploc and weigh it. If it's 1 oz or under, put 1 stamp and you're good to go!
My MIL and I did a scarf project for Special Olympics. It cost me $1.55 to mail mine first class and she paid $13 by going to the post office and asking them what to do with it. They didn't tell her about flat rate boxes, first class, nothing! I still can't figure out how she got to $13 for a scarf! Ridiculous.
Anyway, just got home from my business trip and I'll probably get my F8's out by Saturday! I'm so excited!
