It took me years to collect enough of the different fabric squares, but it was a fun quilt to make.

I believe I'm caught up answering PM's and replies on here! I am so touched by everyone's generosity! Thank you!

Are you part of the 1.5 postage stamp swap???? I've swapped three times and will start working on a pattern soon.

The next day I started to cut strips for a baby quilt for my niece (shame on me as I have not completed anything yet for her and all I have left to do is the binding on the first one I did). So that brings me to yesterday as I took scraps and started to piece randomly but that idea also came and went.
And finally today, I came up with the idea to start my postage stamp quilt that's on my list to do. After about 12 hrs, here's what I did, one block :shock: :) the pile I still need to do brings me to nine blocks but I need 24 so it will be 48x72. I'll check under the bed & another bin of scraps. Then I might cut into the yardages and FQ's (last resort), and/or buy more scraps. My goal is to have one of each print! Can I do it? Keeping my hopes up and months to accomplish this goal, yes I believe I can do this!
My daughter says "good luck with that" lol hahaha
