    Aw KLue, you are too kind. I'm actually quite bossy...I do worry about getting misunderstood!!! Glad to hear I come across sweet...it's one of my life goals. Seriously, we lawyers have such bad reputations I want to be sure that everyone who knows me will be able to say they know a nice lawyer who is not out to get everyone!!!

    :) :D :D

    Oh, no, don't worry, I don't think you were being bossy at all! I know everyone does their best to help out and answer everyone else's questions. And I know how sometimes different computer monitors can make colours look *completely* different!

    I'm glad folks think that the gingerbread print will be OK for the swap. I'm *almost* finished my second set of blocks for the Blue & Yellow swap, and then I'll be starting on these. In fact, I put the new fabric I bought for this swap in the wash today so that it will be ready to go. I'll post a picture as soon as I have a practice block done.

    you come off very nice.

    i've accepted that some people find me mildly abrasive - i just chalk it up to being a hardcore NYer.

    This made me laugh because just this morning I was reading a story/rant from someone who was talking about how "Minnesota Nice" is a myth and we are all just passive aggressive! :lol:

    I have found everyone on this forum to be fabulously helpful. The feedback is great. I'm so excited to see everyone's wonderful blocks and am thinking hard about how to showcase them!

    Here are the finished squares of my first one. Sorry they are not pressed yet, but I was excited to show you ! Also the fabric for my second square. I plan to fussy cut the gingerbread men for the center and then surround it with the other two colors . let me know if they are ok ?
    Thanks, Sharon

    Thanks Klue. I have been very nervous about this, like I said before this one (the exchange) is so special everyone wants them to be perfect ! I actually made about 30 before I got the ones I thought to be perfect . Still have to press and then cut down to 5 :lol:

    Me too Sharon.. this is my first swap and I want these to be perfect as I can make them (that's why all the testing I did) I would hate to disappoint anyone.
