If anyone knows, let me know!
I got back 4 more than I sent in so I offered them to Honchey.
I hope everyone else that gets too many will speak up and help get them where they belong.
Buddy's Mom: I'd be nervous if I were you! I'm sure they will be there any day. It's funny what the PO does.
I have really enjoyed this swap and will use all of my blocks!

I hope everyone is enjoying their blocks.
I have many blocks that I haven't figured out their location, screen names or real names. Hopefully I will before I make my quilt which is on hold until I finish a couple of projects for presents.
If anyone has figured out the names or locations, please share them with me. I am making a spreadsheet with all of the names, locations, etc and if you pm me I would be glad to share to help others with this difficult task.
Each time I look at the blocks it makes me wonder what it is like where the person who made it lives and how much work they put into making their blocks.
It is kind of like looking at a bunch of travel brochures! :thumbup:
Thank you all for this wonderful experience. This is my first swap, but it won't be my last!

Also being new to swapping (have only done One Month/Block Quilting Bee) this has been an exciting and different experience for me.
Extra scarey when parcels have to cross oceans though and I will be very pleased when I can welcome my babies home.
I also intend to make a list of swap participants and may need to have a peek at someone else's list or pool information.
Keen to see some completed siggie projects when available.

Hey Everyone
This is just a rough sketch of what I am going to do with my blocks-obviously it will be bigger and I will pick out a background fabric to fill in the middle and sides but it gives you an idea of what is in my head for this fabulous gift bestowed upon me.
I thank you all again!
Hugs

Well, I just love my blocks. I did receive a few duplicates, so if anyone needs a certain state let me know. I'll go back and check and see what states I have. From the looks of the stack, all and everyone are covered. Hope to get time to assemble them but I can't quit, placing them around and then replacing them. Guess the best way is to put them on a sheet that I can take off the bed when I need to sleep. Tiny house gives me no room to spread them out and not have to keep picking them up again. Handling makes them ragged, good thing we sew that part under or we would have raggity quilts! Thanks everyone.
Blessings,
Ruth

in the spaces within the heart. I may fill in the outer squares without siggies to highlight the heart shape.
