Ok, so that's 250 of them in stacks and the rest in bags! (smile!)
I am bagging them in groups of 50 which makes it easy to open my bin and count how many I have. Once I hit 500, I will start sorting them (roughly) by color to start assembling into blocks.
I'm a major fan of Sweetwater (Moda) and have many of their lines in charm packs or yardage but (regretfully) not even a charm square of some of the more recent lines. This wasn't because I didn't like them but because I started collecting mini-charms instead.

In hindsight, how fun it would have been to have every single Sweetwater print represented? Or at least a single print from each of the lines. If you have a charm square to spare of any of those newer lines (those are in bold italics), please drop me an email - I'd like to have a bit of every line in this quilt.

Have a wonderful day! Patty
Such a simple, but effective block for showing off the different prints.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a fix for the comment problem that is working for many. Check out the tutorial at Just let me Quilt: https://www.justletmequilt.com/2018/06/a-possible-fix-for-your-missing-comments.html. It worked for me.
Thank you so much. It seems to have worked for me as well. Thanks again!
DeleteIt's the trimming that takes so much time..

ReplyDeleteThis will be a wonderful quilt! I hope you get charm squares from the newer lines of Sweetwater. I’m using my Fig Tree charms from over the years in one quilt, so I know what it would mean to have a bit of them all.
ReplyDeleteOnly 100 to go! You have been making great progress.
ReplyDeleteYikes Patty. That is a TON of HRT's. I like the idea of representing all of the lines in the project. If I had any, I would share! Hoping others might have some to spare.
ReplyDeleteI love this block, you are already 80% of the way there for your block count. I can't wait to see them in a quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh my...that's a lot of blocks to make. Good luck finding some fabric...I don't have any sorry.
