I love using them. I learned from experience that cutting them 1 1/4 inches works well for me. That doesn't cut too much off the fabric but still gives you a usable piece. Here is a pic of the sweatshirt jacket I made and I have all the blocks done for a quilt. Just haven't gotten it quilted yet as I plan to do it QAYG. Anyone who doesn't want them, I will be glad to pay your postage. Just PM me. :-)
That looks really nice. Thanks for the input.
