Great job, everyone! Keep sewing and let me know when you have the 10 squares done. I am updating the first post so that we can see how the swap is progressing. We have 4 ladies done making squares!!!!
Stay warm!

I looked at the first page. You must have missed my post, but I have all 10 done as well. I even made myself one so I could put it in the quilt with all the info for the swap.
Can't wait to get them swapped.

Welcome Theresa! Get sewing!!!! We are almost all finished with our squares but you are welcome to join us. Most of the details are in posts on page 1 and 2, but the idea is that you make a unbleached muslin center with your name, city and state, sisterhood # if you have one. Then you place it in the center of a 11" block of foundation fabric (scrappy fabric) and crazy quilt around the outside. There is a tutorial link in an early post. Check out the photos in the thread and we look forward to swapping with you!

Have one block done after much trial and error;{ how many do we need and do we want to do any decorative stitches. I am glad that I got on board with this one. I needed something to challenge me since I have avoided the crazy quilt like "crazy" LOL. After last night and 3 block oops later I GOT IT! Should have 10 done this week end. ( sleep is so overrated). Happy stitching to all. Waiting for Farmgirl number

I worked on one and it was unusable. Then the second block was a good one. So far I only have one done, but think I have it now. Midterms were this past and on this Tuesday. So after tuesday or before I hope to have the rest done.

Okay, Ladies!
We have 12 of us making squares, but you don't need to make 12 unless you want to keep one for yourself. We need to have 11 squares each to send in for the swap. I will send each of you back 11 squares, not including one of your own.
So...when you have 11 squares done, let me know. We are still waiting on a couple of ladies to finish. Check the first post on page 1 and make sure that if you are done your name has a smiley by it. If you don't see a smiley, let me know so that I can update it. When we are all done, I will post my address for you to send them in!!!
Can't wait to see all the squares!

Yeah, Vicki! Got you updated.
For everyone else, since we have another swapper, we need to have 11 blocks instead of 10. I just realized that it means I need to make another block, which is fine, but I wanted to make sure everyone sent in 11!!!
Okay....we're almost ready. Stay posted!

I plan on having all of mine done no later than Saturday if not sooner. This week is mid-terms and then I spent all today with my husband at his doctors appointment.
