I could do another round. 343 really isn't that much when you think about it. If you do 30 sets that's 150 different colors if you cut a set for yourself when you cut for the swap that would give you 300 different colors. I kow it sounds to easy.

Wow 343 different fabrics, will need to plan to cut from 60 different fabrics for a second round, so by cutting a set for myself the same time, wouldn't be too bad when we have another round.

I have about 50 fabrics washed, pressed, and ready to be cut down to the size needed for the accucutter not to have to deal with too much fabric there. I find if I cut them into 13 inch square it gives me little waste and plenty of squares for the swap. I haven't had time this weekend to get the the cutter, so I am hoping I can soon, if not this weekend will be next weekend after I finish a few other swaps that are due before this one.

Moonrise used a USPS flat rate envelope, taped really well. And it still arrived with 2 holes!

I recommend the USPS padded flat rate envelopes. Otherwise, tape really well, especially along the seams.

Just pm'd for 30 sets. Hope my wrist make it through all this cutting. I really need to get my son n law to figure a way to have his vinyl cutter, cut my fabrics.

I started cutting today. So far I have 11 sets done and I think I'm done for this evening. I need to dig some more in my stash but this will have to wait for another day.
