I was just thinking that sane thing, I have enough scraps to do 80 different blocks.

Wow more great blocks It's going to be so fun getting the blocks and seeing in person what a truly amazing variety of fabrics we all have. For me the biggest challenge is coming up with enough variety so that all 8 of my sets were not made from the same F4 bundle. in theory it shouldn't matter but I also need to push myself out of my "planned scrappy" comfort zone. so this was a good exercise for that, but I made one holy hell of a mess in my sewing room.

This is my first 4 sets overall I'm pleased with the variety.

Thanks 3 of them were from FQ bundles the really bright top right I pulled from my stash so I'm pretty pleased with it. It's struggle for me to not just grab something with a neutral background for my second print.

Those are pretty, Billi!

As far as putting two prints together... sometimes I'm not sure my two will work together, but somehow putting them into a checkerboard 'integrates' them. I feel better once I see them in the 4+5 configuration.

The blocks need not be made of two coordinating fabrics.

Here's my sets 6 and 7. Only 1 more to go and I'll be done.
