Another quick tip on a scrappy quilt. Cut four 4" squares two plain and two print. Cut a twenty inch piece of newspaper-- iron to set ink. Sew you four flocks together, place in the center of the newspaper on point (meaning the points of your four patch to the flat side of the paper. tear strips or cut and starting at one side of the four block stitch the strip to one side (sort of like a log cabin). You will work counter-clockwise around the block enclosing the former end seam. As you fill in your strips will get longer and as you get near the edge of the newspaper they will get shorter. If you want to get fancy, buy enough print fabric for the back, a ruffle and make two of the print blocks to match. I stitched in the ditch, you could also tie this quilt and make it a comforter. Tear off paper before quilting.
