Mine will be sent out Tuesday Morning.

That's close enough for me.. they'll work.. send them anyway! an 1/8 of an inch won't bother me at all..
|
An eighth of an inch is okay with me. I have lots that are rejects, but I made enough that are spot on. Dummy me, I signed lots of them before I sized them! Bummer. I will have to find something else to use them for. Any suggestions?

Hey two doods, thanks for the inspiration. Lovely idea on what to do with the siggies. This is so very exciting.
Blessings, Ruth

I used them in this quilt. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-49147-1.htm At first I started sewing the siggy blocks together in rows. I discovered that if you sew 4 in a square and then square that to the 6 1/2 inches it is MUCH easier. I un-sewed the strips and put them back together as blocks. Hope this hint will eliminate some frustration for you! |

I feel so bad letting you all down. But, the moving thing came up after sign ups and I just ran out of time and energy. Hugs to you all.

Most are not off by much, and they might work in my border. I will think of something! I might just have a real wonky border!

I have no problem with them being a little off size, the off, will work into the seams, please send them anyway.

Another thought is to send several of your blocks unsigned so that the recipient can put together a quilt of blank blocks to give as a gift or to take to an event to collect signatures from her new friends from "that quilting retreat"....Just a thought! These would make nice shower gifts, or anniversary gifts, to be signed by all who attend the party! Just thinking outside the siggy square...LOL Of course, check with your hostess for confirmation before sending several blank blocks....
And Thank You for hostessing this swap! It turned into a HUGE swap with lots of players! Have fun swapping all of those blocks! I wish that I could have gotten in on this one, but I missed it! Maybe we can host a Christmas themed one with blank blocks to be signed by family members who get together over the holidays! |
