They can't see how truly beautiful they are,
but everyone else can. People are kinda like that. ~~
Oh, I am so glad that you are using this technique! I would love to see a picture sometime....and by the way....I also live in Oklahoma : )
Great technique ... hope I can remember this when I want to use it .... or at least remember where it is. Thanks for sharing!
Make it a scrappy happy day!
Wow, how do they figure these things out? Great idea. I'm going to do it. Thanks for sharing this.

She shows it with 8x12 rows does it work out the same with other numbers ? What size do you use for yours ?
Thanks for the link
To keep your mind fresh- learn one new thing a day !
On her site, she also has a table runner she did this way. Can't wait to try it.

It doesn't have to be 8 x 12 - just so long as it's rectangular. I demonstrated this technique at the May meeting of my Quilt Guild using batik charm squares but haven't finished it beyond making the top yet. Guess I should do that!
I've done a pattern like this before. There's a whole line that has you piece a rectangular center and then slice and resew to get the squares on point. It's a quick way to make an on point setting, but you lose the points of the squares on the edge once you add your borders and/or binding. Unfortunately for me, losing those points was too much of an irritation and I never made another one. So if having those points matters to you, don't use this method.
