Scrappy Winter/Holiday & Neutral 9 Patch Block Swap Sign-ups end May 1st.
#21
Over half the neutrals I'm cutting are for the sashing I have planned. Figuring 40" usable fabric, that works out to 16 squares per wof, and you need 400 for 10 sets of 10, that works out to 25 wof strips. With some newer fabric, you may only get 15 squares per wof.
I pulled 17 fabrics, so cut 3 lengths of each one, plus I had enough scraps from three other fabrics so each of my block sets will have 2 of each of the neutrals.
My plan is to make sashing to turn the blocks into 4x4 so I can sew them together and have a checkerboard look.

Ok Honchey. I went digging yesterday and found plenty of holiday/winter fabrics I can use. I will be cutting out squares like mad today and hopefully will be sewing blocks together this week. I will join in. Just love exchanges like this. Just to clear things up---we can use the same neutrals in one block if we wish? Sorry I am so dense sometimes. LOL
