I just finished my first set of 41. It wasn't hard, but working with small pieces from my stash made it more troublesome. The next set will be from some nice new fatquarters. That should be alot quicker and easier.
Now, I need to put the sewing aside for a week or two. We are getting new flooring in the bedrooms (3), and I have a week to empty the rooms for my husband to remove the old carpeting (very old) and the old doors. We will be sleeping in my sewing room during the mess. All the bedroom contents will be in the dining room if it will fit. My computer is here too, so I will need to leave a path to it. Well, it is almost 1am here so I am off to bed. Goodnight all.

I think all participants ought to send one extra "reel" for Rosemary for organizing this exchange. It takes a lot more work than one would think !

Sounds like this is going to be a delicious quilt! Seems like lots of yellows too! Lemony custard, caramel, cheddar...yum. Magenta? Black rasberies when they're squished?

Got my fabric today - my colorway is magenta. Now I need to think of a "foody" name for it.

I would like to join too....I've been working long hours and have almost missed seeing this....is it too late?

I will be doing set "A" in a selection of lemon Yellows. Fabrics are washed and starched,
drying overnight. Set "B" might be in maroons, if they stop bleeding, they are in the
washing machine again, see what happens!

Dear Fellow Wott’s;
I am 35a; woo hoo! I just couldn’t resist after seeing the posted fabric spools! They are beautiful! I had my nose to the sewing machine finishing all my UFP (unfinished projects) which were plentiful! Hence; I now have to catch up on all the posts. I will review my fabrics tomorrow and let ya'll know my colors. For now I am signed up for one set to see how long it takes me. I have never pre-washed fabrics before but will review Margo’s link. I love her videos so I am looking forward to learning some new things! I have to say I am so proud though because I finished the last of my four mason jars for the Granddaughters (in time for all their birthdays too!) and even finished a log cabin quilt that was pinned for seven years! Thanking ya’ll for your enthusiasm and encouragement! Talk to you later!

I've just tracked down my american cohort, who has temporarily fled UK (I didn't think the weather had been that bad!), and am discussing about ways & means for sorting out the return postage payments. I will keep folks updated once we have sorted things out a bit more.

I bet that is fine Dawn, but I'd still put your two smaller stacks together into one ziplock bag inside your manila envelope. I agree it will lay flatter when you go to mail it.

I would also advice all of use to ask the PO to "Hand Cancel" the postage/envelope... so it doesn't have to go through the machinery to be cancelled.

Being as how I am only doing one set of 41, the logical way for me to mail these, is to have two stacks of 20 (21) which fit perfectly into a 6" x 9" manila envelope, without any distortion. Is this okay? My mind is not able to wrap itself around how to mail one tall stack of 41, without having a really distored small envelope.
