ok, everyone loves my black and white quilt so i'm thinking (always so dangerous:)) another black and white might be fun...i will start with 2 sets but let you know before the sign up deadline if i come up with more...one question though...
do we have to label every brick???that could take a long time if we are doing 2 or 3 sets ...

Can we label them in this fashion?? A stack at a time?

If we're doing more than the minimum 5 FQs, do you want them ALL bundled like this? For example, if I cut up 10 FQs, do you want bundles of 10?

Correct me if I am wtong but here goes :
1) Buy 5 Black/White fat quarters or use what you have at home.
2) Wash , dry and press fabric
3) cut bricks should get 15 pieces from each fat quarter for a total of 75 pieces
4) divide into piles of 15 one piece in each pile
5) put a label on the top strip of each pile (with your name)
6) put in envelope/box with return postage and mail to hostess
7) wait for the fun to begin when you get an envelope/box back
:lol: :thumbup:

If you are doing 2 then you will have 150 strips and 30 piles
