I've been cutting 2" squares for *years* and putting them into neat little stacks in my various pizza boxes. Recently I started a strippy leader and ender inspired by Bonnie. I can totally relate to your sorting and stacking, resorting and restacking.

I too, love your postage stamp project, but then I loved it when you were back at part 3! Sometimes such unrestricted piecing is just what we need, and I applaude your getting more scraps cut up...but am sorry to hear about the death of your iron.<br />Hope you make it through the fabric store stop!!
