I have sent everyone's blocks out this morning except the one that I didn't receive. I will put that person in the next swap. I hope everyone enjoys their blocks and that their stash of blocks are growing. I guess I didn't realize that it is going to take quite a while to receive enough blocks to make a full-size quilt. Maybe I might have to settle for something smaller. I just love the blocks this time around. Beautiful!

I received my blocks today ladies! Lovely! I'm going to have to go in search of a different fabric pen. The one I found wrote so thick and most of y'all have nice thin writing. I need to run over and sign up for the next round. Thank you all for the work you put into your blocks.

Teresa, Thank you :c) I used iron on transfer paper and my printer, just picked a font I liked, sized it, made 16 copies (12 per page), printed and then cut the words out as close to the letters as I could and ironed them in place.
I tried a fabric marker/pen first but didn't like the way it bled out on the fabric..ehhhhg! My husband suggested the transfer paper and I am glad he did.. I knew there was another reason why I keep him around lol..

 Thank you Everyone!! Julie, your doing such a wonderful job on this swap, so appreciate all that you do! The blocks are sooooo beautiful . . . my quilt is taking shape and I am loving the overall look! Annette, your use of the printer was perfect, loved the way you did it.
 A quick FYI for those of us using the fabric pen, to get your fabric to stay put while signing your blocks, set it on a piece of fine grit sandpaper. The fabric won't slip and slide, your writing will be easier and the ink won't bleed since it is like writing on paper. Just thought I would share one of my tricks.

Hi Everyone, I love my blocks and want to thank you all for a great job. Since these are my very first, I think I will set them on point and make a wall hanging. Thanks also for the signature ideas. Hopefully next time my printing will be readable. LOL
Warm Hugs,

Hi Y'all,
I got my blocks today and they all look beautiful and I want to thank y'all for the great job y'all did. I can't wait to get the ones from the next quilt swap. I'm going to save them all and when I get enough I'm going to make a big Farmgirl Friendship quilt.
