These are not due until June 15th so you have lots of time to mail.

I am up to 96!!!!!
I'll keep plugging along and see how many I can come up with but I doubt it will be 174. I can only do about 12 at a time or my mind wonders and they come out strange!

:-D

Packaging up my blocks to be mailed tomorrow.

I've put 174 blocks in a ziplock bag with my name/ boardname, and # of blocks on it.

I'm enclosing a return addressed envelope, that will have postage on it. Am I forgetting anything??? :roll:

Thanks Norbana for hosting this swap.
It was lots of fun and I'm real excited about getting my return blocks.

Can you come to my house too? All I want is the bathroom done, I'll do everything else.

I'm exhausted just reading that list.
I got 24 2 1/2 in squares cut out.........
What is your secret? I'm very disorganized I guess.
In addition to lots of yard work, washed and dried clothes. Hope to get them folded and put away today! Got to the library and then had to read some of course!
LOL

If I need to do alot of simple cuts; I cut strips; in this case 2 1/2 ".. layer the strips in stacks of no more than 4 high, 2 rows, and cut to width, I did the same with the 3 1/2 " squares, it goes really fast; I had 180 total blocks cut in a a couple hours, from start to finish :)
