The benefit to setting aside blocks as you finish them, is that one day, when you have the spoons, you finish them all at once and look like the biggest quilting hero ever! I finished this flimsy from Shop-hop 2010 and even used up all the fabric!
I also finished this Shop-hop 2009 flimsy I was given the blocks years ago by Susan at the shop in Woodinville They came in a box with other stuff from someone who was destashing, or moving, or had passed. The store got a lot of things like that. Since Susan is affiliated with Stray Threads Quilt guild

2"short! AAAAAgh! |
We would go through the boxes and separate them into piles which would then go to their respective committees within the guild Then someone would either come pick them up or we would take them to a meeting, whichever came first. Anyway, provenance aside I got the blocks for this shop-hop
all finished with about a fat quarter left of the ground fabric It was not enough for the top and bottom border -.- ! EVEN THOUGH I measured a bunch of times! pooh! But, There was an extra block! Woo-hoo! Oh fraptious day! Enough to rip apart and piece a 2.75" x 5" piece to complete the border!

I'mma be a busy girl when It comes to longarm time! Now there is just the 2018, 2021, 2023, and 2024 and somewhere in there I was given the part for the 2014 SH but I don't like any of the blocks for it so...........thinking cap there.
