My block was mailed today and is supposed to arrive Saturday! I asked my husband to pick up a large envelope and he went a little overboard. katievt, your block has arrived! I see what you meant about the envelope, but it did the trick. Nothing bent or mangled, nice and snug and safe during it's travels. Great job on your block. It's beautiful.

midtnmama & Melissa, your blocks arrived today. They all go really well together; you both used almost exactly the same color scheme on the coordinating fabrics.

Kris, Thanks for letting me know. I guess great minds think alike. I forgot to put in some postage for you so I will send that along separately. I hope you will have pictures of the different blocks! So thankful to finally participate. I've been wanting to do so for years.

I wanted to use a print in there but had literally nothing that would blend with it. I thought I had a piece with cardinals but it is lost in the stacks somewhere!

So thankful to finally participate. I've been wanting to do so for years. Well, shoot! I don't think I put anything in for postage either. Kris, send me your address again and I'll get something in the mail to you shortly. I'm sorry I forgot about it. krisinmi,

krisinmi, I mailed my blocks today. I made 2, because, oh I don't know why, I just did!! I put a note in to remind you NOT to put my name in for the drawing and a couple of dollars for postage, which was all I had on me!

The end of March is here, and it's time to draw a winner of all these great blocks. They are all so pretty, they are going make a beautiful quilt. Great job, everyone! The lucky winner is. . . midtnmama!!Congratulations! midtnmama, what you need to do next is to purchase (or pick from your stash, if you wish) 4 yards of fabric for our next quilt. Wash, dry, iron it, and cut 3 yards into 12" squares. Leave the fourth yard whole. Mail the fabric to me. Once I receive the new fabric, I will mail your blocks to you.

Congratulations, midtnmama! So, krisinmi, you 'host' this swap each time? And pick the winner also? This is the first time I've been involved and didn't know or realize how it works. PS I mailed you some postage yesterday. Hopefully it won't take long to get to you.

PS I mailed you some postage yesterday. Hopefully it won't take long to get to you. Melissa started the forum quilts many years ago back on "the other board" and was the hostess for a long time. I took over from her about six years ago and have been the hostess/coordinator since then. The hostess draws the winner at random from all the partipants who return their block by the deadline.

Congratulations midtnmama,!!! Hope you enjoy the blocks. And yes, we did the forum quilt about 4 times a year for many, many years. Lots of people have participated over that time. Glad it is still going.

Billie, I forgot to let you know that your blocks arrived. Do you remember saying that it had been so long since you sent a block when you originally sent me the fabric that you couldn't even remember what block you'd made? Your new blocks have some of the same fabrics as the first one and they go together very well.

krisinmi, How many blocks did you end up getting back? Just wondering! A whole lot, lol. Haven't counted them yet, but everyone who signed up completed and returned their blocks. ETA: 22 blocks

krisinmi, you are correct! I couldn't even remember if I made a block when I sent the fabric. So I guess I made 3! Glad to know they at least coordinate. Geez, I am getting old, the mind is going, going, gone!!

22 is an awesome amount! The participation in this quilt has been overwhelming. We had 12 people, and many of them made 2 blocks.
