Honchey, I am planning on doing 10 sets. Went to the quilt store yesterday and got my Kona white:thumbup:

I bought my Kona white last week. It's my go to white.

I got my Kona cotton white and made one block yesterday and it didn't take long at all and so enjoyable. I cut several blocks 2 1/2" last night and hopefully will get to sew today sometime. This is so fun.

So far I have 50 blocks done. I had bought a jelly roll awhile back. I opened it to use a few of the strips. Some of my stripes had a curve in them where the fabric was folded in half. Then I had some that seemed that they were cut on the bias. The bias ones I did not use for the swap blocks. I will use those for extra blocks for my quilt. Hopefully next weekend I will have all 100 blocks done.

For only one 2 1/2" in a 6" block, it seems fine to use the bias cut strips. After all, if it's a scrappy situation, often to get a square cut out of a small scrap you cannot be choosy about the direction of the grain.

I plan on doing 3 bags with 10 blocks in each bag. If I get more done do you want me to let you know or do you just want me to stay with my commitment of 3 bags?
