Hi Peachrose and Leslee:
Another way to make the squares (I think my quilt teacher calls it a "speed method") is to sew long strips of left over fabric together then cut across the different fabric strips in 1 or 2 or 3 ???? inch segments so you end up with all the different fabrics sewn into the block/quilt without having to make individual seams for each and every piece of the 400 + fabrics you use from your stash. I'll attach a picture of a quilt I finished for a friend who used this method and it worked great. In the picture it shows colors: white, tiny flowered rose, plain pink and dark navy rose pattern. She sewed strips of each of these colors together then cross cut. Your fabric strips can be short, long, medium and they can be placed as randomly as you wish to make them. This is EASY, fun, you get a spectacular "finish" and it used up a whole box of scraps!
Good luck and good sewing,
Randy
