    I tried it - seems to work well - however my squares are not as neat as her's - Hopefully practice will make perfect

    But I think they will be easier to store

    Okay, will confuse - had to watch it about 5 times with FQ in hand to understand it - must be those white hairs coming through

    Now that would be alot of work for each - but you'd have a perfect stack. Thanks for sharing.

    I always use Nancy Zieman's method of folding - it's very neat:

    That was pretty cool but I don't think I will spend all the time that it would take to foldall of my FQ's.

    My LQS folds theirs in neat little triangles. I think it is like the method they fold flags at funerals but on a smaller scale. I like these little squares better as I think they would store better than triangles. I will definitely bookmark this and practice, practice, practice. Thanks for the link.
