Or - if you really want to know what to do with them - you could just send them to me and forget about them. Ha

Go to this link http://weddingdressblue.wordpress.com/tutorials/. She has some great quilts for small blocks. You can use MSQ and turn then into lots of 4 patches then use them in one of her quilts.

WOW!! There are some fantastic ideas here. Thanks for sharing the link!

There are as few as a single square to some that have about 10 or 12 matching squares.

When anybody asks me what to do with Charm Squares etc. I reply with one one D9P http://quiltsatcs.blogspot.co.uk/200...-tutorial.html

Your sister sounds like mine! ;)

Arkansas Crossroads. There's one version on Bonnie Hunter's site http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/...h-of-july.html with instructions, and you can use any combination of scrappy squares in this quilt as long as your 4 patches have light and dark contrast and you pick one unifying fabric for the larger squares (the ones that are white in the Quiltville version). Do a Google image search for Arkansas Crossroads quilts to see many examples.
