WOW! This suggestion has almost convinced me to do another of this mystery quilt. That is a really good idea. Thank you!
And, I think I found the reason a lot would balk in the one quilter who wrote: the sheer number
I am the one who prefers to sewing a hundred of one thing, rather than produce a hundred different things (factory mindset, and the brain of a person entertained by a lava lamp) ... production of LOTS is definitely a problem for many of us. And, you are right - - that is a situation that is not remedied by any suggestions.
At least, I can understand it better and appreciate that you could help me realize the difference. Thank you <wave>
