I am in Western Wa. and yes I am doing them. You need 8 to make a decent sized quilt or add borders or whatever. I like to piece so I am being picky and just getting mostly pieced patterns. Lots of shops here to choose from. Also I will ask friends from other areas to pick some up for me if I can't find enough pieced ones. I am looking at finding 10. I can't come up with a good use for the license plates so I haven't bought them. Any ideas???
