I thought I was getting a great deal on a bolt of "cotton" fabric...indeed the selvege does say 100% cotton but the fabric is really slick, almost like silk. Ill never use it. Hoping I can find someone that might be able to because its a pretty purple with yellow, beigh flowers on it. I have several "extra" blocks that I'm thinking I should make into lap quilts or something ..hate throwing any kind of fabric away :)

Ok, I'm back. The two remaining packages should be delivered tomorrow if the carrier gets the direction to begin delivery again. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Fingers crossed! Now to catch up on the last few pix and your posts. :). We're close now!
Edited to add: I had to stop all mail delivery for three days minimum hence no delivery until at least tomorrow. |
Ah, I see now. I got a text saying a notice was left on Saturday. Glad to know the package is in the area.

Yep, the last 2 packages have seen some weird delays and travels...

I got out my Underground Railroad blocks to see where I was as far as what I need to do to start assembling. I have known the layout I was going to do for some time, and it looks like I have to make several more blocks to be able to start on assembly. I probably am going to have to do some more sashing, and almost all the cornerstones.

Well, what do you know? The last two sets of blocks turned up this afternoon. Woo hoo! They're all here! Tomorrow afternoon I'll start sorting them and getting the packages sealed. Most likely blocks will go out on Friday but if it goes very well, Thursday is a possibility. We shall see. I'll let you all know. :) :) :)

That's good to know, Janice. I'm excited!
