Orca Bay Step 7

I finally finished Orca Bay Step 7.  I'm organized and ready to get sewing again.  It's been a rough two weeks (well, two and a half years...)  My mom passed away 1/1/12.  I didn't want to sew or quilt too much because I didn't want to associate any fabric or projects with her death.  I didn't want a quilt to be on the couch for me to constantly think, "That's the quilt I was working on when my mom died..."  I still have a lot of things to settle with her estate.  But for now my siblings and I are doing fine and feel that my mom is finally at rest. 

Enough of that.  But it needed to be said.  Here's Orca Bay Step 7:

Postage Stamp Quilt – 2012 Charm Swap Kick Off

You can read the full post at:  http://thecuriousquilter.wordpress.com/2012/01/06/postage-stamp-quilt-2012-charm-swap-kick-off/

I would be interested in cutting sets of 2.5" charms for the swap.  Each set would be 100 different charms.  This shouldn't take long with the GO! Baby and the value die.  Submission must be in between 1/6/12 and 1/18/12.  Let's see what I can get done by 1/15/12 before I commit.  By the calculations on the site I would need 2592 different squares for a total of 72 blocks for a 96" x 108" quilt.   I would make it in 16 patch section.  This could be a great leader/ender type project that would last all year.  Hmmmmm.  Very tempting.
