it is helpful to have a light and dark bag and grab one at a time this way, at the end of the bags you will find that lights also become darks.

This incredible - I love the decorative stitching uniting the blocks. Thanks for photographing and posting the card to the quilt - this kind of info is rarely provided but often desired.

Point well made - if I ever do a postage stamp quilt, I'll keep this in mind - since quilting is as much an exercise in VALUE as well as color.
