Tracy, I don't wash mine anymore. I use to, but I did not have the energy this last year to wash and Iron - so I just iron enough to cut what I need, I know it sounds weird but it was easier for me. I agree with whoever said if you don't wash, don't wash anything.
Life is like a quilt...bits & pieces, joy & sorrow, stitched with love
Thank you, Spud...I'll make sure to keep in consistent throughout! I also just don't have time/energy to go through all of that for 20 fat quarters! :)

Thank you Judy!
patanne: Got it! My head is much cleared today. Lesson learned, don't try sorting out cutting instructions when taking medications! Thanks Nana!

LOL, some of us would not be able to sew...BTW, I'm not sure I have met you - so I wanted to say Hi and nice to meet you -
Finally got my fabrics picked and cut. I am soooo proud that I only bought 2 FQ's for this. Several of these fabrics are leftovers from DGS's and DGD's quilts.
WTG Maggie, it is good to not have to buy any fab..Great choices.
Nice choices, Maggie. I love shades of purple...my fave!
Maggie, I love your lavender and greens pinks and blues.
Very pretty color collection! good going with the stash.
Okay, rather than use the daisy fat quarter set that duplicates Bonita's fabrics, I hit my stash and came up with these fabrics pictured below. I have plenty of yardage, so I could narrow this down to 10 fabrics or I could stick with all 20. I have no idea which is the better idea for our mystery pattern, but I'm leaning towards using all of them.

Gina: And I just love them!
And I just love them!
I decided to use 15, 5 light, med. and dark. I tend to make rules for myself, hard habit to break. Nancy I really like these new fabrics.
Pretty choices Nancy. Makes me want to go back and dig through my stash again.
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Bayla Singer:
I think if you add some solids with these, it will be amazing!!!
Tracy....what about solid black instead of white?
Maggie: Finally got my fabrics picked and cut.
