***GAME FUN***

Well the results are in and the winners have been tabulated! Anoka Quilter is the winner and Mariposa is the runner up! Little quilty prizes will be going their way.

Like I said, this was my first try at this and it wasn't all that scientific and you can disagree with me, but these were the answers that I was looking for:

1. There are 56, 2.5" squares in a typical 18"x22" fat quarter.
2. The average baby quilt size is 36" x 54".
3. There are 42 squares in a typical Moda charm pack.
4. There are 4, 2.5" squares in a 5"x5" charm square
5. The best selling quilt magazine according to Amazon sales data is Quiltmaker. Fons and Porter bill themselves as such, but they come in 5 and 6 on Amazon, which I used in my criteria.
6. The popular scrappy quilt designer name I was looking for was Bonnie Hunter. She is frequently mentioned in our discussions and comes up frequently in the internet searches.

Thanks so much for playing everyone!

How fun for you to have done this. I was traveling and pretty much preoccupied with the quilt show, so sorry I didn't participate Crispy_Frog. Congrats to Anoka Quilter and Mariposa!

Default Thinking of you all...

This magnificent quilt is by Kaffe Fasset and displayed at the San Jose Quilt Museum. I do have the "Heritage Quilts" book but
it is simply stunning to see in person. Among others!
