Remember your Bargello Bowl a few years ago--for that quilt, I DID go through a lot of my nearly folded yardage to cut WOF strips. I honestly think it's the last time I made a quilt NOT from scraps :-) sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408822963659450038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-50429873877192014802012-11-26T08:14:34.509-05:002012-11-26T08:14:34.509-05:00And I have heard so many people say they LOVE the ...And I have heard so many people say they LOVE the carpet squares because if a square gets damaged and there is just no salvaging it you just pull ONE square up and replace it!

It is especially enjoyable to be using my thick stash of Civil War stuff and I'm grateful that you had mentioned early on that Easy Street would work with Civil War selections. <br />In the meantime, I'm glad that you are giving yourself a little time off to get some rest!Vic in NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552281371631960555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-897592281792379112012-11-24T12:23:23.066-05:002012-11-24T12:23:23.066-05:00Looking good!
