    Cool sets! I see a few of my blocks in there. :mrgreen:

    When putting my top together, I found that the small blocks were equally as "valuable" as the larger blocks. Whenever there was a gap, a small house or two fit right in that space perfectly. Very handy! :)

Now, I feel like some of you who made big ones and got my tiny ones were a little shortchanged, so please- if you sent in "BIG" and got my "tiny," PM me, and I'll send you a bigger one. I'm going to be making more for myself, because I want a regular sized quilt, anyway.

    And some of you didn't label your work, so please let me know who you are and consider yourself THANKED!
    Don't worry about it, I really spread the littles around, the people who made more sets got more littles (but trust me, they will appreciate them when they put the quilt together). The people that only made one set got maybe one little if even. I think everyone will be pleased with the variety of sizes they got, but you made a very nice offer of exchanging!!

    Cheers!

    That is really nice of you to offer to make more, but I tell you all that the littles are very important when putting together your jigsaw puzzle!..LOL...I love mine!

    Another great set, joyjoy! I see my butterfly house!
    I need to get out the set I made for myself and see how it fits with the others I got!
    I just love houses of all kinds.

    I wasn't able to make the little ones, because of the curved piecing, so I compensated for your smaller ones, and I am very glad to have the small ones I have.

    Okay, ladies, I hear you. I just had to offer- I feel overwhelmingly gifted from the terrific assortment, and I just want everyone to feel as happy!! Again, thanks to Rachael for all her coordinating. Let the fun continue as we make our quilts and see how this all turns out!

    I just looked at all the pics of funky town tops and saw 4 of my blocks! I can't tell you how excited it made me to see my house in everyone's neighborhoods. I, unfortunately, had to put my neighborhood on the back burner, because I have 2 baby quilts to make, along with other baby "things". and we all know the kind of deadlines babies give us quilters!! Hopefully, I will have the last one complete by the middle of October and can complete my neighborhood in time for Christmas!

    I have so many things going on right now, and I think they all have a due date of Sept 15 or Oct.1.
    The houses I received were just GREAT!!!!! Thank you all.
    special thanks to Rachel for putting this all together.
    I will send pictures when I get the top together.
