milestones giveaway winner!

so today's the day i annouce how many strips i cut

so they they all are.....

believe it or not- nobody was even CLOSE with their guesses, except the winner.


 

so how many strips were there?

729
so who won?
rose who came the closest with her 695 guess. she lives here in town, so i'll be taking the tote to her soon.
that was fun!

yes i am just as shocked as you guys!  each stack is 100 strips, with the stair step stacks containing 20 strips. 
so alot of you guys were curious what i was making with them....i'm doing a bargello type block.

i also don't like having a giveaway where only one person wins, so i wrote a short tute on how to sew the block that can be found here.

thanks for playing along and entertaining me! we'll do this again real soon :)

  3. I love it, I love it, I love it. I was going to make that little bag for my granddaughter, but now I don't have to. Obviously my 'secret calculations' worked. Thank you, thank you Shannon. :-)
