And I have to mail all the squares in baggie w/ my name and postage for return? What is the fastest way to cut 1.5"
squares?? Deadline to sign up is tomorrow and I am on vacation until tomorrow. So I have to do alot of cutting when I get home.

Right now I have all those nice little squares organized in tin pans, and am looking forward to throwing them in a bag, and grabbing two at a time. It's pretty neat that I have very few duplicates.
I'm hoping to start on my quilt by Nov. I have to finish a four quilt project. I still have the QAYG to put the 30X30" squares together, and bind. I started making them a year ago.

Hanging my head in shame... My ps squares were sent off in such a rush that Mariposa noticed I didn't put my labels in my packages. If you get a snack-sized ziplock with no label, it's probably from me. It's another sure sign that I've got too much going on

Barri1, Do you really put them in a bag then randomly pick 2??? Do you then put them in a bag to pick again??? I would have a hard time doing that. it's taking me forever to get a few blocks done...How big are you making them??
