My condolences (ms) I have been through that. My purse was stolen out of my Walmart shopping cart. I was fortunate in that the only credit card they used was one for gas, but of course I didn't know that when I was trying to get them all cancelled. And then getting new driver license, ID card (my husband was military), Social Security card, had to put a code on my checks for about a year, and on and on. I was very lucky the police figured it was teenagers and after they purchased gas they threw everything away. This happened about 15 years ago and there have been no problems with my credit or name. Again I am so sorry this happened and I pray everything will be alright.

I have all my squares cut and will get them in the mail Wednesday not Monday as I originally posted.

Thanks for letting me know my squares arrived safe and sound.

So sorry to hear about the vandalism of your car. It's really a shame that some people have no respect for other people's property.

What a mess to have to deal with. Sorry it happened to you! I have been collecting 2" squares since 1999. It all started with a Y2K swap and the goal was to get 2000 different fabrics. I've gotten well over 1000, but not sure how far I have to go yet on the second 1000. I have been looking for patterns to use that don't need to be completely laid out before sewing. I can't imagine laying out 2000 squares. Many that have caught my eye had them laid out in rainbow or other color-sorted layouts and I really didn't want to lay everything out before starting. But totally random postage stamp type quilt did not fit my goals either. Someone posted a link to this quilt the other day. I think this will be the one I go with. Except I am considering using black instead of white. What do y'all think? Will black stand out enough?

Thanks for posting the Growing up Odd quilt.

Great quilts! The Growing Up Odd one should look stunning with black borders. That's a versatile pattern. You could do some of the blocks with a single print and some with bigger squares... in with the little charms.

I love that, Donna! It also gives me ideas of using just the border on other quilts. Would be so cute.
