Maksi, you are just toooo cute!
After I decide what I need to keep for my future projects, I will be sharing. When, what and how, I can't say. Right now it's a little too hot to iron so it might be a little while.
I've posted pictures of a portion of my new stash.
WooHooooooooooooo!

Hi,
You could sew them together first. otherwise they may fray pretty bad. chances are they are already washed for shrinkage, however if you put it together, then wash and they shrink a little, it give the quilt an "older" look to it. Perhaps choose a pattern with that in mind?

BTW, I actually felt guilty picking up all this fabric. I kept thinking about all the lovely quilts you ladies could make with this stash. Instead, it went to a newbie with only 2 completed tops under her belt. WooHooooooooooooooo![/quote]
Muwahahahahaha..... you are now one of us......
