Macybaby, thanks for the info on the small pieces. I have a special 1/4" button on my machine which pretty much gives me a scant quarter inch seam. I also want to flip some of the dinosaurs so I'll have twice as many in various colors. I'm hoping this pattern will diminish my scrap piles a little but I doubt it as they seem to procreate during the night when I'm asleep.
Now to find the perfect backing fabric to go with it.
