    you're being crazy, send them in!!

    i'm honored and happy to take one of these blocks, i can work the seam on my end to fit it into the quilt with all the other blocks.

    i would be heart broken if i didn't get one, i love this block and was hoping to copy the design when i got one.

    i'll take all of them if no else wants them and i'll make 12 blocks just for you.

    Please send them in, I would love to get one! We're just talking about 1/16th divided by 2 since there will be seams on both sides. If I can't work with that then I need to hang up my (thimble?):) :) :) That block will feel right at home with me :)

    Happy Memorial Day to all. If you know of any military personnel......tell them for me......we THANK THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE and GOD bless them!!!!!!!!!

    Blessings!!

    This military gal would love one of those blocks!!! What a great way to show support:) I will be working on mine in the next week or so and get them in the mail as well. Shortly I will be celebrating 13 years of service..how exciting I'm on the downward slope to retirement:)
