From a piece 6" x 10.5" you could cut 2 charm squares (5") or 2 strips 2.5" from which you could cut 8 - 2.5" squares or leave them as strips for jelly roll type projects. You could instead cut 3 - 2" strips which could be cut into 2" squares or left as strips. There are many combinations of triangles and other shapes that could be cut from that size piece.
In a colorwash project variety of fabric is more important than repeating the same fabric over and over. I do repeat some fabrics 2 or 3 times in a piece the size I built yesterday (256 squares) but I probably have 230 different fabrics in it.
I work with 2.5" squares and sew them together in rows like I showed in this post. A lot of people would rather use the 2" gridded interfacing and use 2" squares to build a colorwash. Here is a post where I show how I store my squares to make it easy to see all of the fabrics at once.
This link from my Label list (right side bar) will take you to all of the posts that refer to colorwash.

I would definitely like to purchase a set of the fabrics! I just unearthed my one colorwash piece (completed years ago) and immediately regretted abandoning my CW fabrics in a subsequent move. So I home I am lucky enough to "win" one of these sets. I am pretty sure that I have finally enabled responses, here, but will follow up as email also.
I too enjoy the color wash effect and would be interested in purchasing an assortment! Thanks for the offer.
I also would be interested in purchasing an assortment. Thanks for the offer!
YES YES YES... Love those florals! Will you send an invoice (PayPal)?
If you've got enough fabric, I would like to purchase a set also! Great selection of florals!
Wanda, I would love to purchase this fabric from you, especially since I've been scouring the web looking at fabric that might be perfect for a colorwash quilt. What perfect timing! Last night I was on Pinterest, and to my surprise I found that you also had some boards, which I was very happy to see.

Those fabrics are so beautiful!
I, too, would love some. I can't believe what a great collection you have of the florals!
I would love one or two sets if any are left.
Wow! What a response you've gotten. If, after filling all the above requests, you have fabric still available I would love to purchase a selection and play at doing a colorwash.
Thanks..... mdmontalvo@yahoo.com
Lovely selection, wish I was in US , you have them arranged perfectly, and I can almost see another colourwash coming up. Fabric in a box, that is like having all presents on Christmas Day, but every day. Cheers, Jean.
Yes, please, to an assortment of florals for colorwash.
Yes, I would like some too! :)
This is a test. I've deleted my
google plus account and want to
see how that effects my comments. Thanks for your understanding.
A while back I added a link in my sidebar to a way to fix the google plus no-reply issue (shared by Bonnie Hunter).
Lovely florals, but I will pass this time around.

Add me to the list of those who would love to purchase a colorwash set. Inspiring as always!
