I love using tiny pieces, I have two (tiny pieces) projects on the go at the moment. One is a Postage Stamp (I am using 1 1/2 inch cuts, so finished 1 inch) and another "quiltlet" using the triangular offcuts of another quilter's project. I often buy bags of scrap online....I bought a 500 gram bag of oddments and among the generous cuts of some very cool fabric were the offcuts....all oriental fabrics with lots of gold and silver. It really gets your brain working and keeps you busy for hours.
Cabbagepatchkid, I think you will find Lacelady is English Paper Piecing her project, hence the basting to hold the fabric to the papers. EPP makes for a neater job when using tiny bits.
