Thanks for sharing this link!

You are more than welcome!

Isn't that a kewl idea! Yes, she said it wouldn't work for a quilt...guess because of the stiffness of the innerfacing...but I'm going to give it a try on a small wall hanging and see how that works...will use the lightest innerfacing I can find...who knows by the time I get around to using the postage stamp blocks someone will have come up with a product so light it can be used in this method for a bed quilt...wouldn't that be great?!

:-D :-D

It was for including siggy blocks with our 1.5 blocks. It was decided that you do it if you wanted to but most said no. Your choice.

Ah yes I see. Thank you! Well, my daughter just got into a nasty wreck Monday and with all I have on me now I have to pass, I'll do good to get my stamps out now. maybe on the next swap I'll have more time. ;-)

I've got just a few more strips to cut into squares and then I'm ready to start putting them in their little bags! I hope to get some or all of this done this weekend. I'm definitely in for the next swap too!!!! Hugs, Mary B MS

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter! Hopefully things will go well in her recovery! Don't worry about the siggy blocks. Most decided they wouldn't use them so it would be a waste of time.

Thank you Karen, it'll be a while but she'll do well I'm sure. Have to take her to the Dr tomorrow, we'll see what the surgeon says then.

Yeah I think the easiest way out woud be good for now. I say I'm so tired and dragging tail so low the yard won't need to be raked for months! HA! Geee I'm so tired I'm silly...sorry...
