41 X 100 = 4,100

 Yesterday I read the current issue of the Bayside Quilters 

newsletter and spotted the call for donations for the

bi-annual quilt show in June.   It's an amazing event that takes

a lot of volunteers who go above and beyond dedication

to make this event a success.  Now within the quilt show there is a

boutique selling things made by guild members.  But one

of the hot items for sale is fabric [go figure].  This is when

my light bulb came on ... I have tons of blocks cut from fabric

leftover from various projects ... so I pulled out the overflowing

box of blocks and started to sort.

 I'm ready to help you count blocks Mommy Katie.

 If you take a look at the first picture you will see a set of

multi-colored plastic boxes.  I needed more storage

space for blocks but with donating these to the Guild

that eliminates my problem and helps the Guild all

at the same time.  A win-win all around.  

 It took more hours that I thought to go through all these

blocks.  Notice my little helper sleeping on the job.

Approximate hours of work today = 10+ 

[I'm not kidding!]

 41 bundles x 100 squares = 4,100 squares I've counted,

sorted to some degree, and checked to be sure all

were in good shape for the person buying them.

I still have a stack of 2-1/2" blocks on the floor and 3 more

boxes of pre-cut squared in various sizes which I will go

also bundle up and donate.  I hope these sell well

and bring in a few bucks to the Guild.
