Shoot -- we just went camping a week or so ago. I thought I was soooo smart. I cut out 1 1/2" squares to hand sew together for a potential quilt. I had 10000s of those little buggers. I got all set up in the shade of the awning, got everything set out and hadn't pieced one complete block when the WIND started blowing. I had probably 20 pieces on my lap when they blew all over....and the bag of pieces blew and the rest fell on the ground and flew all over. You're right...it's funny NOW!!!! LOL
