I do know I'll never do a quilt needing 128 of them again!
Wow, 128! That is some serious work there! I'd love to see a picture! I only need 20. I love the idea, but not convinced it's the best choice now...I don't want it to be a hassle for the recipient either. I will definitely make a sample and wash/dry it a few times before I commit. I've still got a dozen blocks to make in the meantime.
