Check out ebay item number 250849103174. The description says this vintage quilt was made of 1" squares! When I saw this I though of you and your PS quilt. I wondered if you might want to use this setting for your PS quilt. This quilt uses 8 squares x 8 squares for an 8" block; then she used a solid white 8" square for every other block. You could make your blocks whatever size you want and then repeat the size square with a solid of any color, or white or black. It would make a very striking quilt and still stay with the vintage look, but you would finish in half the time. Check it out and let me know what you think. Jan
