I have only done two as I want to get them in the post today, no idea how long it will take to get from Ontario to California. Canadian postal service is snail snail mail. A warning to all, be careful when blocking, my first square was a disaster. Make sure the workis wrong side up and the steam is not to close.

Boy, my simple square looks

Boy, my simple square looks like a plain cousin in the midst of all these beauties. However, the love we send to Jason is the main thiing, so every piece becomes gorgeous. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

These squares are beautiful Dennis. The lace work shows up nicely in the honey tone!

I know what you mean about

I know what you mean about the cross-border postal service. At one time I would drive over to Fort Erie to mail things I needed to send to a Canadian address. But that was when crossing the border was a much simpler matter. The days of crossing an International Border to go play Bingo or eat Chinese food.

The squares look great!
