I have been getting into the Potato Chip blocks and been cutting up my scraps. I have used my GO cutter to cut all these. They measure 2.5” * 4.5”. I have a few hundred cut now.
I joined up with Aussie Chippettes and put my name down for some swaps. These included 20 Potato Chip, 10 Terry Rowland, 10 * 4 patches and 3 house blocks.
Cute houses. I used my GO cutter to do the flying geese roof tops. They were oversized and I could trim them down to the perfect size. I always have trouble with flying geese measuring straight.
All ready to be posted out
I have returned from a 5 week holiday to Darwin and collected my mail. What a lovely surprise.
Look at all this happy mail. So many nice and pretty blocks.
Thank you everyone who took part.

Wonderful happy mail Jo. I love those house blocks that you have made. xx
That little lot will keep you amused for a while. Preparing everything to post would have been quite a chore. Have fun.
Block swaps are fun and you've jumped in, boots and all! After your hard word cutting and piecing, isn't it exciting getting all that exciting mail back. I took part in several block swaps with Southern Cross Quilters, quite some years ago now.
Looks like a lot of interesting swaps. Great way to get a variety in the fabrics. Have fun.
The houses are very cute, and such a collection of swap mail! You'll be busy
Wonderful swap blocks Jo, so good to get that much mail! I like the house blocks too.
What a fun swap and you sure can cut the blocks faster with the GoCutter.
Love the Houses and a nice pile of mail to come home to.
Love your houses and your packages. You are one busy sewer who accomplishes so much!
What a fun idea...love the house blocks.
