there are 6 people with Del.as the address why not pm them all and ask?

Well, after my little oops, I am back on track. Now all I have to do is sign them all.

Yesterday when I said that I cut out the fabric... well... what I really did was - purchase the white fabric, wash all fabric, dry it, iron it and then cut it out. Now it seems like my day was far more productive :)

Last night I sewed, and pressed 192 blocks. It really didn't take that long. Maybe about 2 - 3 hours for the sewing. I thought that was pretty quick. Rather than pencil mark the 2 1/2" squares - I used the Angler 2 (by Pam Bono) to line-up my sewing line. All that is left to do is signing the blocks, and trimming the excess fabric/triangles .

Here's a photo of my progress - I've removed my name from view as a precaution.

While it would be fantastic to have a participant from Delaware join us - to complete all the States - I think the success of this swap comes for the spirit of engagement and joy that we all have during this process.

There are a lot of participants that are submitting fewer blocks than others. If one of those participants is the only person in their State then those that have created lots of blocks are unlikely to receive every State back. (Does that make sense?).

So just because we might get all States participating, it doesn't mean that your final quilt will actually represent all States.

Great blocks KiwiQuilter!

I have been sewing 10 blocks a day!

Count me in I will do 12

Yaaay! You are the savior!!!

Awesome, how many has signed up so far for this swap. I would love to make enough to receive from everyone!

We have 161 swappers, and blocks coming from all 50 states. I really hope everyone does enough for each swapper.

Woo Hoo!!! This is going to make some incredible quilts!
