Thanks so much for all the information and ideas.
I've decided to make the Daisy Chain quilt
https://bloomandblossom.blogspot.com...orial.html?m=1
I will use two of each fabric as suggested. This pattern calls for 4 3/4" strips sewn into strip sets and then subcut on the diagonal to end up with four pieces ... perfect for two quilts with very little waste. For the size quilt I want, I figure I will need about 35 different fabrics, so I'm starting my collection.
I appreciate the information about the swap, but I need to complete the first quilt by early November.
Thanks again!
