Yes girl I did. I like it. How about you. I see you didn't take out the red you were not so fond of. I think it was a good choice. Are you going with this one or doing block number 4?

Ok, I'm mathmatically challenged. How many blocks do I need to make to get one of everyone's blocks?

I am waiting on my fabric in the mail, trying to decide if I want to do more than one set!

Go back to page 1 of this thread and click on the activities page (link is at the end of the instructions by NorBana). The activities page lists all of the participants and blocks they've committed to. I just counted up and right now it looks like there are at least 80 blocks being made. Some participants haven't designated a specific block yet so I only counted them as 1 set each. But sign-ups don't close until May 15th so there's still plenty of time for people to make more . . . LOTS more. If you want one of each block, going with the 80 we have right now, you'd have to make 7 sets of 12, which equals 84. Of course, increasing the number of sets you make, increases the overall total, so the total would be more than 80. Make sense? In a nutshell, count up those on the activity page, divide by 12, equals total number of sets needed to get one of each block. Good luck! That's quite a heap of blocks!!

SewCornie: Thank you so much for the explanation. It was so nice of you to take time to explain. :-) Looks like I gotta whole lotta sewing to do. :-)
