Received: LOTS more I-Spy squares

I received TEN packages in the mail today.  I'm sure my mailman wonders what is going on!

Unfortunately, 1 package was damaged in transit and half of the contents lost.  The swapper and I are working to replace them in time to meet the swap deadlines.  That problem aside, this experience has been lots of fun.  There are so many sweet ladies in this swap!!!

I am now just waiting on 4 packages for swap 1 and 6 packages for swap 2.  So close to being able to package everything up and sent out to the participants!

Wow, this makes me want to do an i-spy quilt sometime, and I've never made a quilt before!

i am so excited! love all the prints i've seen so far.

and i feel for the gal whose package was damaged. i sent off 101 quilt blocks for a swap in july and the envelope came open in transit. the envelope arrived, empty. no sign of my blocks yet!

if she can't get them replaced it's no problem for me - i'd take a few less if need be.
