I think it would be easier to cut it will a rotary cutter or a exacto knife than using scissors. I am really liking this idea seeing how many scraps we all have. I think a wall hanging or a potholder would look great using this block. I also really like her purse. Not for me but for kids. Or...wa bath mat! Now that would use a lot of scraps. I also think using either a glue stick or basting spray would work really well to keep the pieces in place. I can't wait to try this.

That's an interesting technique

Thanks a bunch. Going into my waste basket now to retrieve scraps from my New York Beauty blocks!

The rest of the videos are terrific too. Love the bread basket one.

I bet we all have enough scraps to try this, Thanks.

That reminds me of making chenille. I sure wish I could go as fast as she did, I could get a lot done.

I don't think you could cut this with a rotary cutter and not miss the bottom layer which must stay whole. Fun method to use us the small scraps. This is a keeper thanks.
