While I was out at the Quilting in the Valley (San Fernando Valley, southern California) quilt show this morning, my strips arrived. Oh frabjous day. So I came home and did a little happy dance and opened the package. Be heart my still.... Terrific selection, with a few duplicates. I've never seen so many pretty pink batiks. Thanks to everyone who contributed strips and special thanks to Barb for collecting, sorting and mailing, and to TQS for providing the community.
Okay, I'm gonna go do another happy dance, and think about how to sew these treasures together! Happy stripping ladies and gentlemen!

My strips are here! Wow!
Thank you strippers, you are sensational!
And dear Barb, I appreciate all the effort you put into this exchange!

Barb,

Today, I also received my package. It got pretty banged up and torn en route, but fortunately the Ziploc bag protected all of the strips. I haven't had a chance yet to sort through them, but at a glance I can see that there is a nice mix of colors, textures, and values. I'm anxious to get in and play with my strips.

Thanks to you and your sorting helpers for organizing this, my first fabric exchange.

Barb,
I wanted to thank you for all your hard work. I can only imagine being surrounded by all those wonderful fabrics, I would have thought I was in fabric heaven. You did a great job I received my package today. I just can't wait to start sewing. Thanks again I hope we can do it again. I know everyone appreciates your hard work. Tam

I wonder if the pineapple hilt is the same one I am thinking of making. They will all be gorgeous. Maybe my mail person will surprise me today.

I went to go out for coffee and found a package at the the door full of the most beautiful strips I have ever seen. I am so excited! I can't wait to get started on my project...

Mine came today and they are beautiful. Can't wait to use them. Thanks Barb for your hard work.

All week, I've looked daily for my strips....and they came today!!!! YEA!!! Thank you to our Stripper Organizers! This has been great! I so appreciate you all for planning this! It has been great fun! I think some of mine will go into a pineapple quilt I've been working on for some time!...and I've almost gotten all my blocks done for the HST exchanges! FUN!

When you're ready to set the parameters for another exchange, I'm sure you will have takers.

I received my strips also! Thank you to all for the hard work arranging this strip exchange! I love the fabrics. You did a great job at sending a little of everything. I arranged mine by color and value. The photos tell me I need to re-arrange some.

This is really fun!

When are we going to do it again with a different fabric theme??? Let's go!!!
