Are you able to post some pictures of your WIP? I would love to see how your blocks are coming together in color sets.
Did you join the Postage Stamp Swap?

sorting system & first blocks

What a good idea for sorting the squares. Block looks good with same color family. Are you going to put sashing between blocks?

Are you doing different charm quilts with using all the same color in your bigger blocks of the 1.5 charms??? Or are you going to put the bigger blocks together when you get enough?

Very pretty!!!!

No, I won't have sashing on this quilt. 10 x 20 (aprox) 8" blocks, 4 inch border and 8 inch border. Might be 3 and 9 inches. Better balance. Total 12" borders, at any rate. Queen finished size, with decent overhang.

Oops, missed Hummer's question. It is all one quilt. The color shifts across the quilt.

What is working for me:

Sort the color family light, medium, dark. sew darks to light. When I run out of one or the other, substitute the mediums. sew all blocks in 1 row of a block. For me, that's 8. 2+2, then 4+4. When I have 8 strips of 8 for full block, or 4 strips of 8 for half block, I leave them chained, so I know it's a "set". When I have a good bit done, move to ironing board. first block down, rest on top, seams up. Place 2 strips first position, set iron (setting seams first), place 2 more strips, move iron to 2nd set. Grab strip by next seam. flip it a bit, put into "setting" position, set 2nd strip. move iron. the iron sits on 2 at a time, for a decent amount of time while you reposition the 2nd two. Then seams up. water spray the unit. I push all seams away from the first light block, same direction the whole strip. That way, when I sew two strips (rows) together, they all oppose each other. then seams down & press the top. I let it set, while I am turning the next strip.

I start sewing with the first row on top all up (away from me) & on the feed dog side all down (toward me). Learned that from someone here, that the seam pushes against the under one. The rest of the seams will be the opposite, unless you sew on the left side of the strips instead of the right. When I start sewing (64) blocks together, the seams will still oppose.

No sewing for me tonight! And I hate that so bad. My furballs stirred up a yellow jacket nest in the ground. And I walked right into it with shorts on. They tore my right leg up. And I got stung on my right hand I know of twice. It could of been more. They just bured my tush up royally.

Got my Furby good too! She had a swollen eye and back paw. I know the others got stung also, but not as bad as Furby I don't think.

Hopefully I can sew some tomorrow.

ohhhh, poor You and Furby. Hope you recover quickly!

Thank you Vicky. I did get 109 charms sewn up last night. I'll have to double up tomorrow to get my quota that I'm missing out on tonight.

My fingers are super stiff on my right hand where I got stung. And my whole hand is swollen on top now. It was way earlier today I got stung. And it's just now showing a lot.

aww, you poor babies! so sorry!

Thank you for the furbies!!!!

I see two limping. Don't know about my third one. He's in his bed right now.
