Purchase the postage, put it on your return envelope and put it in your package. Hope that helps!

I've been trading additional 30's charms with givio and will have enough blocks to make a king size quilt. Taking a long arm class in March and hope to rent the LA at the shop to quilt my own quilt. I will think about swapping again in March for the patriotic squares. Will see how my priorities land. Thank you for hosting the swap -- you are a wonderful swap hostest and you're in my contacts on the phone so I have your address handy for the next swap!

Thank you. I look forward to seeing your finished 30's quilt.

Again - - - please label each quilt block.

Thanks!!

As I mentioned in my previous post, since the 20th falls on a holiday, it will effect the mail. Please send your packages anyway. Let's have a really good participation. As a result and because of my work schedule, I probably won't swap everything out til closer to the end of the week anyway. So please send your blocks!!

C'mon team! You can do it!!! Rah Rah Rah ((okay. I'm setting down my pom poms now))

Hi ladies, I'm itching to start laying out my blocks for this swap. I'm hoping you can give me some ideas. I've laid out my blocks so far but it looks way too *busy for my taste. Would sashings looks better to organize the chaos of all these blocks. What colors would look good? White or bright with white and black cornerstones? I'm seriously color challenged when it comes to design.

I would appreciate you thoughts.

Kindly,Julie

Stitch124 - Sashing will help to "calm" the top. I would recommend using either solid black or solid white for the entire sashing to give it the look you are going for.
