    But the beauty is, besides the beautiful blocks, is that each person gets one of them so it doesn't matter! :D

    Nice blocks, Joanne. Yes, looks like you have certainly tamed those wild zebras :lol:

    Looks like one of those tests to see if you have eye sight problems. They are cool.

    Joanne...nice blocks!

    I send a Self addressed Priority envelope along with a check for the postage inside mine envelope to Colletta. I hope that is alright Colletta!
    I was sending 2 sets and they would not fit into the smaller flat rate envelope, so I just did regular Priority mail. Please let me know if its a problem and I'll work out something else for you Colletta.

    Joanne...I took my 'squishy' to the post office and picked up 2 of their priority shipping envelopes...what I prefer to do...and, addressed both fronts at the counter and then took them to the mail person/up front and had them put the postage on both for me right there. Then stuffed my envelope and blocks in the envelope to mail:)Worked out great...and, mailed it. I detest buying envelopes for mailing and can never remember to pick them up..so this saves a trip and keeps things simple for me:)Skeat

    Thank you Skeat - and others - that's what I'll do, too. Good solution for anyone who does 2 or more sets, and easy for Coletta, too!

    Did you fold up your blocks or is the envelope big enough to keep them flat?

    I"ll have to go by the PO and check them out.
    The one I have may be the biggest one at 9 1/2 by 12 1/2.

    Ah Ha :x Pictures help find mistakes. I spotted a square with stripes the 'wrong' way (which I'll fix :lol: ) - 2nd row of blocks from bottom, 1st block on left, bottom left square.

    Isn't it amazing how things you don't see in person show up in pictures? I saw it but personally I would leave it alone. :lol: I would be fine with it but don't know how particular others might be.
