[SCA-BMDL] actual message about Baroness Tatyana, posted to AElist

[L.J. Rodriguez]

i'm sometimes a bit dense, so i need some clarification.

"We are finalizing whether they would be 6" or 4" squares and will cut and
distribute them over the next month."    ?    cut from what? i'm confused.
are we just trying to have a backing that's uniform? i don't know much about
quilts.....      who is we?  just wondering, cause that sounds like a lot of
cutting...maybe 'they' need help.....?

are we to bring fabric to 12th night? are we working on any of this
there/then? could we do the cutting there and hand our squares?

back to being confused about my schoolwork.....  :)  thanks
