Wow my package of strips is gorgeous. I have only looked through half of them. Time for bed more looking tomorrow. Thank you Barb for sorting and putting this exchange together. Thank you all who participated. Now the designing begins.....

Thanks Barb for your hard work. I received my strips today love them.
Can't wait to make something with them.

My strips arrived in Vermont today. I can't thank you enough Barb. I feel guilty that I wasn't able to help out with this project AND....I would definitely do it again.

My strips arrived Saturday!!! Have not had a chance to look at them all since I had a sick child over the weekend but what I saw looked beautiful. Can't wait to dig into them and sew.

Thank you so much Patti! I think this is such a fun, fun, fun quilt to make! I have a wee bit more to do on the applique. but all of the farmhouse blocks are pieced. You are going to have such a great time putting this one together!

Karen, how pretty is that?! I'm doing that quilt too. I love that book and could make almost every quilt too.
This is looking great, can't wait to see

My package arrived Saturday. So many beautiful batiks. I love them all. Thank you, Barb, for doing such a tremendous job.

I opened my package yesterday and was so happy with all of the beautiful strips. Thanks again Barb and all sorters and helpers or doing this! What fun you have afforded all of us. I am in amazement that I could get all of those strips and not a one was something I have bought or even seen before. How in the world did you manage to do that, Barb? Impressive organizational skills I think.

I have to say that I love Edyta Sitar's Frienship Strips and Scraps book. I would love to make every quilt in the book! I was so excited about it that I started the Farmhouse Quilt out of my own stash. An added bonus is that I am using the leftover strip panels for "The Bloomin' Baskets" quilt also... How much fun is that to get two quilts from this. I have improvised on Edyta's design as I am using a "Block by Block Quilt-As-You-Go" technique. This is really a fun process.

Thanks again to all who made this exchange possible.

I got mine today too. They actually came yesterday but I picked up my mail today. They're just beautiful and so glad my raffle quilt is within a week of being done (God willing). I can dig into all my
exchange squares and strips. Can't wait to get at 'em! Thank you Barb for a job well done. I'm very grateful you took this on.

Thanks Barb for a job well done!
The Strips are truly Sensational!
I'm just finishing the HST's (Ironing & Seperating Papers) and have a quilt plan for them and then
on to stripping ...

I also did stop everything else to look at the fabric--while my husband and kids wanted to know when supper would be ready. I need to look at the fabric but we compromised. Everyone help with supper so everyone was happy and I could then admire the fabric. So many different ones. I am thinking of what I am going to make. A big thanks to all the work that went into making it happen.
