| Strips to exchange |
At our November Mystery Maven hybrid sew day, we exchanged pink and yellow strips. Goodness, we had a lot to share! It was fun to exchange. I don't know how many strips I took; but, I'm thankful for the variety!

| Fabrics sent in the mail |
Thanks to my friends Rosanne, Riza and Alvera sending me some of their pink scraps, I had 80 pink strips to exchange. Rosanne was glad to get rid of the scraps. When my husband saw what came in that mail package, he wanted to know why someone would send me something like that? The something were 25 different pink fabrics! I pre-washed the fabrics and trimmed them into strips for the exchange.

| Prewashing background fabrics |
The first part of goal number
nine on my December list was to finish pre-washing the strips from our group strip exchange. It took me a few days; but, I did pre-wash all the strips from the exchange. I hand wash the strips so the process was fiddly; but, not difficult!
The second part of the goal was to pre-wash and cut background fabrics to make kits. I didn't specify the number of kits; but, over the weekend, I did cut enough background pieces to make 50 kits. I'm set to begin the actual sewing of this leader ender process. I have a few background fabrics ready to cut into strips when I sew all that I have prepared. I'm looking forward to making these blocks!

| 50 kits ready for stitching |
I still have a few kits of the Triple Treat leader ender left. I will sew those and then take an inventory of how many blocks I have completed. I did group the blocks as I finished them in stacks of twelve. It won't be hard to determine if I made enough of these blocks to make a lap quilt.
