Wow !! something else !
LOL no I don't use tweezers. I guess my fine motor control works well. LOL I use 1" blocks in these that my friend Dorothy makes for me. She sews and cuts out hundreds of these for me. Saves me alot of time. I can pick up the blocks and design without having to do the construction of the blocks. We use my cutdown method which allows us to have tiny pieces within the 1" block. She also makes the Star point blocks for me in the 1" and the Bostons. Once you do the joining of the fabric you can cut it any size you want.
