Yeah! I can't wait to get it! I am going to work on yours tonight, I had so much fun matchin yours up, since I have it in my stash! I have to run, got a lot to do before I meet with my newest customer and, her friend who I met right here on the Quilting Board. I am making a memory keepsake quilt for her. I have to think of something really special to do for her friend who got us together...finders fee :-) = Quilt block or fabric???

I made it to the post office today and mailed a f8 to everyone. I thought it might be expensive, as I have not mailed things internationally lately, and the rates seem to rise daily. But it was not. Anyway, you all can be expecting to see some 'spring' coming your way.
BTW, I did not realize until addressing the envelopes that we are such a wide-flung group. Wonderful! I look forward to seeing what blocks we all choose for each other.

I started to look at patterns last night and some are 9", 10", etc. I've never done a block that I had to send to someone else, so now it matters. For my own sizes I didn't really care as long as they are more or less came squared out in the end same sizes.
I thought it would be easy, but now I realize I will need to go through alot of 'mock ups' to get the sizing down right. :cry: Since I want to experiment learning new blocks.

When I first started doing swaps years ago I made 8",9"&10" patterns and then put a border around them so I could trim them to the correct size.
Paper piecing is my favorite method right now and it's very easy to come out the the correct size if your 1/4" seams are right on target.
