Thanks to everyone for their ideas and thoughts on this. I will check out the quiltville site. I have been seeing the leader and ender technique mentioned before just haven't sat and read through it to where I understand it yet. Very true Amma. I really like the look of the scrappy quilts, the other quilts just look like something I could mess up really bad. Don't get me wrong they are beautiful. Scrappy quilts seem more forgiving.
