That’s exactly it! She’s been saving her scraps for years, and that’s where the printed fabrics will come from. It only takes a piece of fabric 2 square inches in size to include the print in the project (cutting it into 4 one-inch pieces). The large piece of off-white fabric came from an Estate Auction, I believe, so that’s where the cost is in this type of project. It has to be a piece large enough to cut the majority of the 1-inch squares and accompanying strips and rectangles out of the same matching fabric.

Oh absolutely!!! To do otherwise would mean digging through hundreds of 1” squares to find the 4 pieces needed in each mini 9-patch block. Yikes.
