This is a good place to share ideas, so I thought I'd tell you what I'm going to do. I'm trying to use up my stash, and many pieces are fat quarters. I'm going to place my pieces onto four fat quarters stacked up, and cut out the pieces for the block that I'm doing. I will then piece them together. Each block will have basically the same fabrics (I might throw a different one in for contrast) but it will be in a different location in the block. I hope that this makes sense. And, I hope it works when I try it.

This weekend is our Thanksgiving holiday in Canada, so I doubt that there will be much piecing occuring at my house, but there will be lots of time for family and friends -- turkey and all the trimings.
