I am in the process of making a quilt out of scraps, sewing them into 9" squares then trimming to 8-1/2, sewing those together. I have a 16 " which I then sandwich and quilt. I have two squares left to quilt then I will sew the squares together on the machine. I thought I would like this small area to quilt better since I hand quilt but now that it is time to sew these squares together I don't know if I am going to like it. There is more cutting involved. I like the smallness of the squares to quilt. I will try to post pictures when I get through. I've run out of quilting thread and I haven't been able to get out and get the same kind. I think I am going to like just making quilts somewhere between 48" square and 60" square. Those aren't too big to hand quilt.
