Alrighty then! I'm well on my way to cutting 800 - 2 1/2" squares for myself.
Yes, you heard me. One of my "wacky" friends or maybe two of them, came up with yet another challenge for our group. We are to swap 2 1/2" squares for a tumbler type quilt in the Fall. The catch is that we each have to cut 7 sets of 100 tiny, little squares to share..............DIFFERENT........fabrics mind you. Now, I must admit, I first I thought this was a fantastic idea. I was envisioning all sorts of quilts but now that I've started........eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk!
I did get the 7 sets of 100 done and packaged in "zip locs" (don't ask), thank goodness! I wasn't going to be the one without my part done, looking chagrin in November. No sir-ree!
Do I have eight hundred fabrics in my stash? You know, all those fat quarters, yardage and scraps I have hidden somewhere?...................ssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......Don't answer it so loudly...............let's keep this just between you and me............Okay! hehehehehehehe

Oh, my word.....that is a LOT of cutting! I'm impressed with what you've done already.
I did this last summer for the postage stamp swap. We cut our square into 1.5 inches. Yep, I made 3 small postage stamps quilts and still have about 3000 for my 1/4 hexie quilt.
Oh, my .....now that is a LOT of cutting!

Oo wow, so much fabrics and so much to cut! Sigh......!
Just thinking about that much cutting makes my head hurt...
Wow, you and your rotary cutter are going to be either very good friends or very bad enemies at the end of that!
Also, my blocks arrived today - thank you so much! They are truly beautiful and cheered me up after a very long week!
Dear me, such a lot of cutting. My hand and wrist hurt just thinking about all that work.
