Meanmom, I love your quilt and the little corners you made in each one.

I spent the morning printing out the patterns, and quick facts of each state; just to refresh my memory on some of them. Interesting enough, not all states have an official color, but most have a common favorite drink: milk. Next decision is color....do I want to do regions in different colors, or choose a common color or two for each block, or a light, medium or dark back grounds. LQS had a sale on, so I picked up a few bright colors to go with my stash for the 50 states and have them in two clear plastic storage units.

Do I pre-wash or not?? Never have, but might want to start??? Do I dig out my 5 thread serger or leave it buried in the sewing room. Maybe get the old treadle I learned to sew with back in the dark ages to working in case of power outage...but it has not failed us in eight years...so I am hoping that does not happen.[ATTACH=CONFIG]453606[/ATTACH]
