patti i sorta followed your advice below and started opening bags and sewing squares. then i felt i needed more color so i emptied the previous bags i had sorted by color, then i dumped some of my side swap baggies and then i dipped into my own stash of 1.5" squares and now i have a total hodge podge going on.
i said i would sew squares for one week as i waited for all of my boom blocks to make it in, then i would put them away for later.

I'll wind up with very light / light / light med / med / dark med / dark / very dark / misc / -----oh no---scrappy, random is sounding much better!
