I started making these blocks yesterday...using a quilting catalog that I got in the mail for the fountain. I have tons and tons of scraps...so I first cut a bunch of 2 1/2 inch strips and then a bunch of 1 1/2 strips...this is so easy and fun. I just finished sewing a bunch of the blocks together and hopefully finish FMQ'ing it today. I only did 8 blocks just to get the hang of it and its very scrappy. So this one will be for my kitties under their cat bowls. I will start making the blocks a little less scrappy. I will use the same fabric in the center and the last strip of each block. I also will make all of the strips the same size that join. This is a great way to use up scraps....
