You can do less than 10 sets, in which case you would need less different fabrics. This is a great opportunity to use up scraps. That's what I'm trying to do.

Okay, here's my set #8. I'm trying so hard to get all of them done before Florence hits us. One path shown has it coming straight through Charlotte. I remember Hugo and I sure don't want to see that again. I've stocked up on water, so I should be okay without power for a little while. I don't wish anybody in upper NC any bad luck, but I sure hope it doesn't come this way!

Thanks sewbizgirl. I hadn't thought about doing the blocks that way; I was visualizing doing them one bag at a time. I'm still pondering 50 different fabrics . . . although I do scrap quilting most of the time, I had never counted the different fabrics that went into them. I just pull fabrics from a sack after cutting them to size, counting for a four-patch, 9-patch or 12-patch. Fifty seems so many.

Thanks for the welcome!
Libster, one of my blocks will have your center square in set 9.
If I can remember, I won't use that same block in my 9 patches. I have one set finished. I'll try to take a picture.

Sunrise, nobody will ever notice that it's the same as mine. Chances are that it will be in a different position anyway. I do like that fabric.
