When you use leaders & enders, you can make a quilt without even trying, along with the one you're actually working on. You can use anything you want. Right now I'm using 2" batiks as 9-patch & 1 1/2" for flying geese. See what I did in 2 days of working on a quilt & what I got done with the flying geese l&e. Look up "What can you do with 1 1/2 scraps?".
