When I said "Friday morning or 500 comments," I was thinking that those two things would happen more or less simultaneously. I had no idea you would be able to pull off 500 comments in eight hours!
The winner, chosen at random, is Jaybird! (I've sent you an e-mail. Please send your address and I'll get these in the mail.)
For those of you who missed out, stay tuned. I'll do a similar strip-pack giveaway when I finish my Project Improv Quilt.
Don't be surprised, you have made it to the blog big time and you are sooooo good too. I love this blog!
