Hi, Barri1 and Honchey: This is what I'm doing with my little treasures. I'm kind of a control freak so my stamps are more-or-less sorted by color. I sew two as leaders and enders while working on other projects then sew those into 4-patch units, which I square up before sewing them into my finished blocks. I've found I get better results putting my 64-patch blocks together with 4-patch units rather than doing it by the strip method. Sewing 4-patch units together you only have to match 3 seams at each step, until the very last one, when there are 7 seams to match. I've got about 70 blocks ready to put into a top, whenever that day comes.
