    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 ...
    pm on the way with vitals

    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:
