I like this idea and have tons of scraps from the I Spys I'm currently working on. May have to put this on my "Future Try List" If you don't mind my stealing your idea. :lol:
Katie, Feel free to use this technique, I learned it at HeartStrings, an online charity quilting group. We make blocks, tops or complete quilts for the HeartStrings group or for any of our own local charity groups. With the increase in post rates I usually send them one or two tops a year and make the rest for my Guild's Community Outreach Program. May
