Giveaway with Dubious "Prize"

 

Betty & Kathy counted these triangles and came up

with 8,336.

Seventeen guessers thought there might be anywhere from 823 to 25,678. Janet G came up with the closest at 7,000.

I have her email address and will be sending her the good news and a whole lot of triangles.

We recently held a contest at the quilt guild show.

Guess how many triangles in this jar. Win the jar.

Kathy & Betty counted the triangles in the jar.

Roseanne won the jar. Being better at estimating volume

than using up random- sized pieces of fabric she gave the jar to me.

I have many, many random-sized pieces of fabric so I am offering it to you.

Guess how many triangles Betty & Kathy say are in this jar and I will ship it to the person who comes closest.

You will not get the jar, which seems to be a recycled 2-pound jar of cheezy puffs.

Give-Away Rules

1. One entry per person.
2. Delivery in U.S. only (Sorry!)
3. Comment before midnight July 9, 2022 (Central US Time Zone).

5. Be sure I have some way to email you.
6. I'll announce winner with the closest guess here on July 9th and email you.

Warning: These triangles will probably not be suitable for patchwork such as these vintage quilts.

Most of these from online auctions seem to be from about 1870-1890

when scrap quilts were quite popular.
