I am such a lucky (and blessed) girl. Got another squishy in the mail yesterday with lovely strips. Thanks bunches, Princess. I appreciated to read the back story. Sounds like your sister is a bit of an enabler, particularly when she hands off her own stash to you. lol I have now sorted all of the new arrivals and the ironing board is full again.
EVERY one of the additions plays nicely with what I already had. So now I am alternating between pressing, cutting, sorting sets of 8 and sewing more blocks on paper. Slowly the pile is decreasing, just so I can build it up again. Not sure yet how big this one will be. The 81 sets I have prepared at the moment will yield a 54" square.
Well, better get to getting'
Have not bought any fabric for myself. My BFF wants to get into quilting. She started once before and has her first top unfinished. When her MIL passed away, she got all of her tops so she is now motivated to finish them. I am just excited that I get to mentor a newbie. YAY!
