    I just finished my 48" x 72" postage stamp top. There are 3,456 blocks, 1 ½" x 1 ½" blocks. Never thought I would finish it, but I did. However, I have to admit that it does have imperfections. But, my heart was in every inch of it. You'll be really glad you did it. I love your color choices.

    If you will PM me your address, I can send some, too. I have fabrics clear back from the 80s, so I'm pretty sure you won't have duplicates of them. LOL

    The spring one is finished. I just rec'd my packet of 1,000 squares yesterday! There will be another swap in the fall. We cut 1.5 squares from 50 different fabrics for each packet. Swap up to 20 packets. It's not hard really. A 6" square makes 16 stamps!

    Well this is my 2" squares I'm using for my quilt. I have gone through and pulled many different ones for you, hope you like them. The box is about 3" deep.
