I was pondering where to start. I participated in swaps (2" and 2.5" squares) for 2-3 years (can't remember exactly how many times the swaps were done). We swapped 100 squares and I still have those I received in their original small zipper bags. Some swappers sent more than 100 squares. Most swappers do perfect cutting, and then there are those who do not (to my despair!)!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So far, with the blocks I have made, I have used 100 squares from one swapper plus some of my own cut 2". Today, I opened swap zipper bag #2. This swapper sent me a lot more than the required 100 squares, mostly beautiful floral fabric in all colors. Unfortunately, many of the squares are not cut to size; about 1/16" is short at one corner and some off with 1/8". I had not bothered if it had been a few only, but most of the squares are cut the same way. I find it irritating, because I have to be very careful about the 1/4" seam allowance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did a couple of blocks (there are four blocks sewn together to make one unit), but these two units did not make it to size; 5". I gave up, all squares went into the zipper bag again and I took a break! I'm not going to use these squares for these blocks because they are causing too much irritation for me. I may cut them into 1.5" later on. The one I've chosen now all squares looks like they are cut exact 2" squares, which makes my life easier! lol </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI0Skafig2Kc5Iw-kyPtm-dSvrc5zMBte8cWgmRXbjIi5-24TemzZD1A6PwwsSeXLa7-du6h-KGa6gXZLBu6yKSd9RzKq4sHhcEwGJGQ8keZfEt7db6tq2nvy1BggfY3G_fFBmmdWcj4qnRMljVbQw0_ETs7fTTpMKRXrhj_FYVbwqKBTxC5FIFSdhKLs/s2000/IMG_6381%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="2000" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI0Skafig2Kc5Iw-kyPtm-dSvrc5zMBte8cWgmRXbjIi5-24TemzZD1A6PwwsSeXLa7-du6h-KGa6gXZLBu6yKSd9RzKq4sHhcEwGJGQ8keZfEt7db6tq2nvy1BggfY3G_fFBmmdWcj4qnRMljVbQw0_ETs7fTTpMKRXrhj_FYVbwqKBTxC5FIFSdhKLs/w400-h200/IMG_6381%20(1).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have made a few blocks.

We've had an artificial tree for about 10 years. Last year we didn't put up the tree. With three one y/o kitties!!! Read: most probably a disaster! After all the decorations were put away, the tree was moved to the lower ground floor, without demounting and placed in its carton box. Of course the kitties discovered it was the perfect tree to practice climbing real trees! They had so much fun and in the end the tree looked like a scarecrow! It's time to buy a new tree, but for now it'll be a small one. I may have found one I like. It's a small tree for the table, which I can easily move to another room and close the door during the nights so that the kitties won't have fun, in <b>that</b> tree! </i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: georgia;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: georgia;"><i>Speaking of Christmas tree.
