Mine are going out this morning. 
I, too, used 2-1/2" squares from swaps on the board, and yep, some of them weren't exactly 2-1/2". I set aside the least accurate ones and tried to use the better ones, but the size differences probably affected my blocks slightly. Hopefully they're okay. I sent the tracking number via PM.

I mailed mine out yesterday. I made 8 sets in the end. Looking forward to seeing what I get back!
Here's what I finished over the weekend. It's been a year in the works, because it always kept being put on the back burner as other quilt ideas came. I'm not too sure I like the black calico border, but I hope it grows on me. I didn't want to buy anything as the whole quilt top is made from scraps. Now into the pile to be quilted it goes!

Oh Chris... we have over two weeks before the shipping deadline. Relax! I think you need to look at your calendar again, LOL. Hopefully you will be going back to the Cabin before then. I’m so sorry you left your blocks behind. Sounds like something I would do... but no way would I drive that far to get them!
So how is everyone doing making their blocks? Did I make the deadline too short? Do we need an extra week, perhaps? Let me know. I can push it back if people feel they don’t have enough time. Tell me soon if we need to change it, (not at the last minute, please.)

Red and Honchey, I discovered what you did about our swapped candies today! I was starting a new quilt top and one of the things on the cutting list was 2.5" squares, cut on the diagonal into triangles. Wanting a wide variety, I went to my boxes of candies from swaps. I needed neutrals. Took out three stacks of them and then picked out all the ones that would work in this quilt. Before cutting them I needed to measure and can't tell you how many I had to drop into the garbage can because they were small, or not square. I really wish people would take better care in cutting for swaps! I hate the waste.
I made just over 100 little flying geese units today! That's what the split candy squares were for-- the side triangles in a goose.
