Well, if I remember right, I needed some blocks to finish a quilt in a hurry to make the deadline for the fair entry I was working on, so I asked him if I marked them off, would he cut them out for me. He said he would. The next thing I know, he said if I would show him how, he would mark and cut me some because I had so many scraps that needed to be used. I had him cutting double bit axes, 2 1/2 inch blocks, diamonds, even postage stamp size out of the scraps. (Anything I could use in a scrappy quilt) We started putting them in the plastic shoeboxes you get at Walmart or the Dollar Store. We got so many 2 1/2 inch blocks he decided that he would learn how to put them together to help be use them up. Now he is marking and cutting more so he will have a variety.
