I have mine started. everytime I pull a fabric out to make a block 1st thing i do is whack a 2.5 strip off and add to the pile.

That is a good idea that way you already have them made.

Sounds like fun. What quality of fabric can we use? I have a lot of Walmart fabric or does it need to be from a known designer or both.

EllaBud

Yes, it'll be a lot of fun! You can use any cotton fabric. Just make sure it's cotton and it doesn't have to be washed. Please label it as to if it has been washed or is unwashed. If you need more info, please PM me.

OK, I woke up at 5:15 this morning and could not go to sleep so got up and cut out 2 batches of 20 strips each. Needless to say my stash got refolded and stacked in cabinet and looked so good that I spent 3 hours cleaning, sorting, reorganizing, etc....my sewing room has not been this clean or organized in past year. I need to join more swaps!!!!

Now I know what I have to do when I'm up at the wee hours of the morning.....

When I wake up that early, I don't think my fingers would be safe using any kind of cutting tool :lol: :lol:
