I'm in the process of putting together a quilt made of "leaders and enders" - I pieced a light and a dark 2" square together each time and now have them in strips.
It's very gaudy, but who cares, it's mine.
However, from now on I will cut 2 1/2" or 3" squares since the current one took too long!

I use them and teach others to use them as well. I need to get some scraps together to make something while I am at it! Never really thought of it, just used the same leader as an ender over and over and over, etc.
