I just noticed you live in Orange, Sandy. I'm in Buena Park. I bet you are in the Guild down there. I'm in Acacia. Just got going there in September. Been quilting awhile - from 2000 to 2006, then off tll this fall and now on again to stay. I'm goin all out - have an accuquilt and I love, love it - more and more as I use it.
Anyway, about the siggie. I have never done one and don't know much about them (just what you said). I always like to try things new, even if I don't understand them. Do you mean to include one with each set? Seems to me that it would take a lot more than one set to make a quilt, so I'm a little bit confused.
I am more of a visual learner and can't picture a big label and all those little squares (how big a square do you get when you put 50 1.5" squares together?
It would be interesting to hear a little more about it. Thanks Sue

Hey ya'll I think the best way to handle the siggie block is if you want to do it mail them with your sets and I will swap out those of you who include them. If you send me 10 siggie blocks and only 3 total swappers send them I will return your unswapped ones. Make sense?

When will you be starting to accept our sets by mail? I'm finished with mine and will mail them to you as soon as you'd like.

Hi Missi, Ready to post mine too let me know when.
I was hoping more would like the siggie block but I have decided to make my own when I get the returned blocks as we are adding our board name and area anyway.
I will be trying to use mine in one project and will make the siggie blocks for the backing.
Can't wait now...
