[quote=dublb]I have started collecting fabrics for my Postage Stamp. I know that you're not supposed to duplicate any fabrics but( :wink: ) some of my scraps have so many different looks that once they are cut into 1 1/2" squares you would never know that they were from the same fabric. Is that acceptable ???

I think this will be my "leader & ender" quilt.[/quote

I personally had never heard that the Postage Stamp was not supposed to duplicate any fabrics. I have a Postage Stamp Quilt that my GGG Grandmother made in the year 1840 .... and if you go to the Posting I made on it at .... www.quiltingboard.com/t-88451 .... you can and will see what she did, and every inch of the quilt is "handsewn and quilted", with the exception of the binding, which I put on by machine.
