I came home from Retreat with a tall kitchen garbage bag of flannel scraps.
I failed to get a photo of the full "before" bag. Mom is fast with a rotary cutter! She cut 6 inch squares and 5 inch squares. There are 182 6 inch squares. We had the secret agents count for us. (click on the link to get the inside story about our local secret agents.)
5 inch squares
6 inch squares
Whatever couldn't be cut into these dimensions went into a bag to take to the next guild meeting for our raffle table.
Then she started on the cotton fabric I was gifted recently. (Click on the link to go that post.) She cut 4 by 6 inch rectangles and 4 1/2" squares.

With the 6 inch flannel squares I plan to do a rag quilt. With 4.5" cotton squares I plan to do a disappearing nine patch. Some of the 5 inch flannel squares will probably end up in a quilt for Goldie that Parker wants to make. I have a plan for the cotton rectangles, but I don't know the pattern or block name so you will just have to wait and see on that one.
Whew! I'm tired just typing about all that cutting!
