Scissor Queen, thank you for the instructions to make the blocks and a picture of your finished quilt. Great way to use up some scraps.

Don't know if this will help but years ago I read to iron (yes use the iron) your newspaper and the ink won't rub off on your hands. I tried it then and it does work to keep ink off your hands. You might try this to see if it will work for fabric too. Don't really see why it wouldn't work though. If someone tried this please let me know if it does or does not work. Thanks
