Jacquie,
These are what I've pulled from my stash. A couple aren't full fat quarters, but enough to use for applique projects. I would like to add a couple more FQ's but won't be able to get them for a few days. ( I have some in mind. ) Do you mind waiting a little longer so I can add them, or should I just send what I have here?
