Good morning! I almost called in sick this morning... was up all night coughing! UGH. Got a summer cold.

I couldn't think of a tip to post yesterday, but today I did... this may already be common knowledge, tho-- (as with most of my 'tips'!)

When saving scraps I try to cut strips, rather than squares. Then, when it's time to cut for a swap, I pile up the strips in piles of 10 and cut 10 at a time, down the strip. When I've done that 5 times, I have my sets of 50 to trade! Much quicker and more painless than cutting squares one by one.
