Got my box of squares hunted out. And guess what I found. Two different sizes of spools already cut out to sew together. And some candy bar blocks. These are just a certain size strip. Now I have 4 tops that have to be started.

Just wanted to thank you all again as I've been receiving packages this week! I've been chain piecing and trimming the squares and got 1 more block done so far today. This weekend I'll start working on what you all sent and post pics of the blocks, then you can hunt for them :)
Also, this afternoon I got to meet fellow board member mcb1180, yay, we swapped some squares!

The next day I started to cut strips for a baby quilt for my niece (shame on me as I have not completed anything yet for her and all I have left to do is the binding on the first one I did). So that brings me to yesterday as I took scraps and started to piece randomly but that idea also came and went.
And finally today, I came up with the idea to start my postage stamp quilt that's on my list to do. After about 12 hrs, here's what I did, one block :shock: :) the pile I still need to do brings me to nine blocks but I need 24 so it will be 48x72. I'll check under the bed & another bin of scraps. Then I might cut into the yardages and FQ's (last resort), and/or buy more scraps. My goal is to have one of each print! Can I do it? Keeping my hopes up and months to accomplish this goal, yes I believe I can do this!
My daughter says "good luck with that" lol hahaha
