I got 21 bags. bonus. :mrgreen: I asked Missi, but she said keep it.

I spent Saturday morning working on a stamp system.

**a-hem** instead of cutting up tree limbs, down from a freak august thunderstorm, early in the cool. :roll:

I took 8 check boxes, put cardstock dividers in the middle.
yellow/yellow green
green/gr blue
blue/blue purple
purple/purple red
pink/red
red orange/orange
orange yellow/yellow
the 8th box has browns tans & blacks whites.

I had a contact paper covered "quart" box, the kind that a doz qt bottles ship in. wrote the colors on the end, where you write the checking info, and slipped them in there, noted end up. I need a 9" square flat box to slip into the end to put made squares in.

and I sorted all 1050.

I'm doing 8x8 blocks. I think I have (all of) 5 colors sewn into strips of 4. I sorted the category into light/dark & am sewing them alternate. I also sorted "kinda medium" and when I ran out of one or the other the mediums filled in.

What fun.

...?? or is it crazy-makin'?? ... ah, well, already THERE. *snerk*
