Brilliant. I have stacks of 5" squares - looks like a good way to use them up.

This is the "Straight to the Point" technique at http://quiltwoman.com/Straight-to-Th...-Patterns.aspx Their patterns note that if you're a stickler for not having points cut off, this method is not for you. I don't have a problem with this -- I seem to do it unintentionally!

OMG what a great idea

Very cute. It reminds of a way to John Flynn' way to create a back for a quilt.

I bought a quilt pattern years ago called ' Contra Dance' that was made the same way. That quilt, however, used several sizes of fabric squares.

I haven't made it yet (surprise surprise) and had actually forgotten about it. As I have all of the fabric for it in a box somewhere. I guess I need to find it and makes sure it gets on the 'TO DO' list.

My quilt group made a bunch of them for charity quilts. BUT beware that when you do the cuts--bias edges are now on the outside edge of the quilt. Starching the blocks that will be cut would help tame any issues. Just something to think about when you do this method but it is a very quick way to make them on point.
