Quick note: Gail will be away until after the holiday so she will not be able to respond to any iquiries until she returns

Okay, they are in the mail! You should have them Tuesday! Wohoo!!!
|
Mailed 174 siggy squares last night. Can't wait to see what I get back.
|
Still working on mine but they're coming! :thumbup:

OK I think I am Siggy Silly now. Why did I have to make 180 blocks before I figured out that it is much easier to sew the left over little half squares BEFORE you trim the Siggy's????? Now I have all of these loose little triangles that are crying to be in a quilt and I have to feed 360 of them through my machine. I got the brainstorm to sew them first while working on a graduation autograph quilt for my friends twins. It works like a charm!

Dragonfly Nana - I think your label is a great idea for the front of the quilt. Gail has done a lovely job. I might see if I can track down someone who machine embroiders over here.
I could use my mini HST off-cuts to border the label as well as in my siggie quilt border. (I sewed mine together as I went!!!) I'm watching that Activity Page closely - its been 7 days since my blocks went to the Post Office and I'm waiting for that "blocks received". |
23 more completely done!
That brings up a grand total of 139! I seem to get one reject for every 12 I sew that's why the odd numbers. Now my dilemma, the design I have worked out calls for 144 sig blocks to make 48x54 or with a border 54x60. If I try to enlarge it 173 won't be enough blocks so I guess I'll stick with 144. I would have 29 left overs if I make all 173. I guess I could put them on the back or better stick them in the final border. I know it would be much easier for our hostess to divide up the blocks if everyone sent the same number. Still time to decide. I am not sewing my little triangles together! I can't work with those tiny blocks. :-D |

:thumbup: :D Now I just have to wait until we get the blocks back to start the quilt. I am planning on arranging them in X's and O's surounding this center square (=to 4 blocks) Thanks to Norbana for taking on the huge task of sorting and swapping them all! :-D |
