Deb, you did an outstanding job of putting the blocks together. I never could have done what you did. Thank you for taking so much care in sorting. I love every one of the blocks I received.
If you need my blocks, let me know, but if you don't, it's fine. I do like my blocks too. :-)

I am not offended, I didn't understand what was being said. Some quilters did the same pattern, just different colors, so it made it a little crazy for me to be actual in sorting. I love all that I saw and have the pleasure of handling every on of them......talk about a kid in a candy store! I am still waiting for 2 more sets to come in so I can finish mailing the remaining packages. Those who have not received their's yet, thank you for being so patient. I know it is hard when all the pics are being posted and you are still hanging on the mailbox!

Sewcornie, thank you so much for the offer. I was going to swap 2 for 2 with you, but if you are happy with your blocks and I am happy with mine, I think I will just keep what I have. I had done 2 sets, so got quite a collection back. This was my first ever block swap, and I am absolutely thrilled with the blocks everyone has done to add to my sets. I will post a picture as soon as I have time to lay them out so you can see. I'm sure I caused you confusion. Being my first, I understood they were to be the same, but I thought as long as they were 9 patches, that was the "same." LOL What a goober I can be sometimes. I stuck with the same block for the batik swap, so lesson learned. :-) I'm sorry I caused confusion and appreciate so much the kindness you all have shown to me. Sewcornie, it was the sweetest thing for you to offer to swap with me, and I love you for that. Deb, I will say again, I don't know how you did it, but you did an absolutely wonderful job. I know that I could never have hosted a swap. The choices you made for me are perfect. Thank you again for all your hard work. Also, thank you to everyone who made a block for me. This board is the best!!!

Ladies, the rest of the blocks are going out tomorrow. I do have 8 blocks left - 4 of each of the last set that just came in.
I did extras so there could be a variety. If you would like one more block, pm me and the first 8 get them. I have enjoyed hosting this swap, and now am looking forward to Calendar Sun Bonnet Sue and the Hot Air Balloon swap. Thanks to all for being so patient with the mailing and my constant pm's to keep things on track.

I am so impressed with all the beautiful blocks you all did on this exchange. This was one I was really wanting to do but unfortunately was concerned about committing to any more exchanges at the time. I am wanting to make a R/W/B star quilt as a fundraiser (probably raffle) quilt for my brothers chapter of Disabled Americans so I will most definately be looking for the next time this comes around.
Again you all did such a marvelous job you will have some beautiful quilts to be proud of.
