    Finished my 9 patch block this afternoon. Whoo Hoo!. I think I will shop my stash for fabrics A & B when we see the next clue. The most difficult task was not to control fabric choices. I tossed the squares in a tote, closed my eyes and pulled. I then strip pieced the squares in sets of three. Those I tossed into a tote, closed my eyes and pulled to piece the blocks. It sure is going to be interesting how these blocks will be used.

    So proud of all you that fought with yourselves and then agreed to do the "paper bag" method for blindly putting together your 9-patches. I know it is really really hard for some to do so, but the results are always pretty. Kudos.

    You guys have got to stop pouring coffee for Elisabrat. She seems a bit wired today.

    Yes, carrot, we are a chatty bunch but we do have fun! So glad you are along for the ride. As to how many, last I couted we were 25 but don't know if all those stayed, and some new got onboard ... so, no, I don't know. Anyone taken a head count?

    A nice, quiet, country cabin? Where? A single caretaker of a mature age? This gal lives in NYC. Well, train rides are good for daydreaming, as I sip my Green Juice!

    I don't have enough scraps for this train. I only buy fabric for my projects and usually don't have much left. I'll just keep watching you. After my Funky Farm Swap I might have some.
