I"ll have to go by the PO and check them out.
The one I have may be the biggest one at 9 1/2 by 12 1/2.

Soon comes the hard part: labeling all those blocks!
Very pretty block MadeinMaine!
:D

I need either 74 or 84 for what I want to do with them. It looks like colletta will be getting at least 84 sets so that is a very real possibility. Still have a month to go although most of the free time I had is now gone but I bet I could squeeze in another set in a month.
:D
I didn't sleep well last night so went and looked at all the pictures again! It's going to be great making something with all those great blocks. Keep up the good work everyone. I may have to use the large flat rate box to mail all of these!
:D

I'm debating a third set this weekend, maybe log cabins, since I've been informed I'm going to be a golf widow for the weekend. Such a pity to have more time to sew... oh, no... wait!
And then theres the problem that I dont have the fabric for them so I'll have to make an extra visit to the LQS...

When you make HSTs with a striped fabric, you wind of with about 1/2 in one direction, and the rest in the other direction.
This is the first time I've attached a picture - hope it works!
