Those red clips are my go to for almost everything unless I use glue. I have 20 and they get counted when I stop using them so that none of them go astray! I think they are a good investment.
i've picked up a few FQ's for the red/white/black I'm thinking of using. I think I will try one block today to see if the color way will work...not like I have anything else to do!
I haven't had an entire day in the sewing room for a week and I'm in withdrawal.
