I've cut thee 4" squares today for an I Spy charm square swap.
I joined another I Spy 4-inch square swap. Rules are I have to cut and mail 200 (4") squares, 20 each from 10 different novelty fabrics. So that's what I've been doing today, cutting 4" squares. I will receive in return 200 (4") squares, each one different. They make wonderful I Spy quilts for children.
Technically, I have all 200 squares cut. But I have, unfortunately, misplaced the first stake of 20 that I cut. So if I don't find it within the next few days, I'll have to cut 20 more. I'm sure that Taco and Bella have hidden them from me. But every time I try to question them about the squares, they turn and walk away. Those darn cats.
I'm going to make one more sweep of the sewing room to look for the squares. Wish me luck. If I don't find them, you might want to wish Taco and Bella good luck.

Good luck finding those squares. It's amazing how small a place it takes to tuck flat squares of fabric so even 20 such squares can hide in the darnedest places. Have you looked ...
- in your stash where subsequent fabrics came from?
- on any flat spot high or low?
- in a mailing envelope since exactly 20 squares are missing?
- wherever you put outgoing mail?
- in the cats' beds or favorite spots?
- beside the telephone?
- in the 'fridge or freezer?
Good luck to Taco and Bella, the usual suspects, too!
What will you do with these many charm squares you are acquiring?
Hugs!
