Yes, they were all prewashed when I washed the fabric, I never take them off first, but I sewed them together with a straight stitch and they may have been the problem. Maybe I should have used a zigzag.
Anyway I'm anxiously waiting to see everyone elses so . . . . .

I've always been a little hyper. . . . . . especially when something motivates me (I pieced my avy in 10 days from picking the fabric to pressing). It's like a driving force that won't let me stop. Sometimes it's not such a good thing but I've learned to live with it. Feb. Mar. and April are always busy months for me. The painting retreat is something I've been going to for around 25 years, my DD and DH both have birthdays in Mar. and on top of that IT'S SPRING!!!! and that always bumps up my energy a bit. I talk the same way. :lol: :lol: :lol: Got to go grocery shopping. Later!

Hubby says he wants me to wait until I get my chickens back to make sure I like it (but I know that I will ;) ) so I'm in, but can't officially join until I get them and he falls in love too... can't wait to say yes (it's been TORTURE to not be able to :cry: )

Ooooh I'm so excited to be in this swap. It's my first swap ever! I'm a little worried that I'll like all the blocks I make and want to keep 'em for myself... but that just means I need to make more blocks, right?!
