I have a large collection of 5" charms that is the result of many swaps that I hosted many years ago. They have to be used up. I'm wondering about sewing them into 4-patches and then trimming them back to a 61/2" square would be the way to go. It seems like it would take less time then trimming them (the charms) back individually then sewing and and trimming again. Hope this makes sense! If I hurry I can still catch the train, if not then I will get on at the station next Saturday! See you there! Mimiknoxtaylor, what a darling little man! Enjoy! |
hopefully I won't goof this one up.... I will have to hunt for scraps that big.... is it legal to cut up some yardage......... I have been trying to clean up scraps and my largest squares are 2 1/2 , I am not done sorting, so I will relook and not make so many strips..... Cowboy Caviar on it's way......

Here are my squares. In my defense I grabbed anything that came to hand. Heard of controlled scrappy? This is totally out of control scrappy. I knew some of the squares would read as lighter. I also know that Judy suggested using only small scale prints. What can I say? Just completed a mystery quilt where the squares were so small that these look huge to me. I am really going to go all out scrappy and see what happens. I may finally get a quilt that I feel comfortable letting the dog lay on.

Sunrise: I did the same thing with 4 inch squares because I have lots of them and couldn't see spending extra time cutting 3 1/2 inch squares. :)
I, obviously, didn't follow the directions as far as small prints because I have some plain squares and larger prints. I even wrote 'small prints' in my notes! The funny part is that I ALWAYS expect students to follow directions! I guess I'm a bad example. Connie |
Large prints cut small read as color--I used what I already had cut. I like uncontrolled scrappy!

Off to my scrap bin. See you all later.. |
