I am so excited because I feel like Ryleigh's quilt is so full of love and good wishes, and so many people took time out of their day to send us a square and a wish. Getting the mail has never been so much fun (well, except when we were waiting for our I171, NOT).Some of the squares I received were a little too small, or I got doubles of some fabrics, so I decided to make a crib sized quilt as well. I will use the doubles, the small sized squares and then some random fabrics that I have. Someone gave me about 15 different 7x7 squares, but not enough to make a wish. I will cut the baby quilt squares down to 5 1/2 inches, leaving some for the wish card. Then I can have friends write wishes as they stop by (or at my shower).
I never thought I'd be so friendly with a rotary cutter and ruler!
Oh, and if you want to send me one of my final 10 squares, please feel free to email me!

Wow, how cool! You are just zooming right along on this quilt. Did you buy that top-of-the-line sewing machine yet? Let's just call it "the Mercedes" from now on, shall we? Heh!
I'm loving getting these squares in the mail too. It's such a neat project. But I have to open the envelopes when I'm by myself, because I am embarrassingly emotional about them. (I guess your hormones get weird when you're paper pregnant too...)
Take care, M3
Hi Stacey,
I'd love to swap squares with you! Can you remind me what size. I'm using 7" squares.
You almost finished collecting!
:)
PLEASE save room for two from my mom and me! I AM JUST LAGGING ON MAILING THEM! Really, I will mail in the morning! Thinking about you all of the time! Love your friend, Kim Dunn & Raberta Allred
