I tried writing on the fabric today and my wonderful hubby brought me in some 360 grade sandpaper and omg it does perfect, can't even tell I was writing on fabric!
Now if I just had pretty handwriting we would be ok, lol

I used sand paper also, my hubby made me a little frame with sandpaper to use any time I work with fabric. He put a hole in the top so I can hang it on my wall with my templates. Works great!
Also if you feel uncomfortable with siggy to the side, add a smiley face or a flower to it! Adds character and makes everyone think you planned it that way!

Did anyone else besides me have trouble with the finished square being 4 and 1/2" ? Some of mine came out right on the mark and others were 1/8th " off. I had trouble getting the corner squares to match the white square edges.
Just wondering what the trick is to make them line up better.
I am using my "oops" squares as foundation pieces to make mug rugs- sewing scraps to them.

I have a small sandwich container full of them. I have made small squares with some of them and plan to put them together one day when I have nothing else to do- LOL. They do make cute mini blocks and fill ins for quilts with odd shaped pieces.
Glad to hear I am not the only one who had issues with the corners and squares.

Check post #62 you'll see what I did with my triangles. I keep anything as small as an inch and use it in paper piecing.

LoL I'm in the swap either way my family would say I don't NEED more scraps. I'm turning them into pinwheels and using them with the siggi blocks. (Should have the siggis all done soon. I've been fighting sticky stabilizer. Boy I wish I returned it the day after my first battle. I simply hate the stuff and it was expensive.....)
