In Circa 1880 mode today

I just counted the number of different fabrics I have to complete this quilt and it numbers 128. I think that's plenty to make it scrappy! I am interested in seeing how others organize their pieces as they work. I purchased a 3 tier shelf to keep next to me as I sew and it works pretty well. I have my 1" and 1-1/2" strips at hand.





Starching 128 different fabrics was a task made easier with a foldable drying rack.  I have about 95 done, and have 30+ left to go.







Update:  Saturday, Jan. 18   Here are a few of the 2-1/2" blocks, which will finish at 2" when done.  I'm making a queen size quilt which means I'll need more than 700.
