Sinceresissy I have an old wooden cutting board about 13" by 9" I believe, I put my 18" cutting mat on top while sitting on the couch with a bad foot and used my cutter and cut about 100 3 1/2" H's. (All scrappy). My foot is better but I still cut some that way if I need to.

I need to try this for days my fibromyalgia doesn't let me stand at the cutting dresser! I never thought I'd have enough arm strength to do it sitting, but with my new Martelli Ergo cutters I bet I could!!! Thanks for the suggestion!

You are most welcome wildyard. You know what they say "necessity is the mother of invention". If you gotta quilt you gotta find a way.

Boston, I can't wait to see it!!!!!!!!
I don't usually save scraps but I have some right now from a couple of other projects. I should give that a whirl.
I love mindless sewing!
And I love seeing your creations :)

I was scrolling and reading and all of a sudden yours popped up! My brain said “hey! I don’t remember posting my Arkansas Crossroads to the QB yet!” Haha! Ours looks so very similar. Good job on yours.

Five of the same fabric makes a flower. Back fabric doesn't have to match.
Cut them out with pinking shears, turn them right side out, running stitch the bottom closed, pull tight and tie off. Put 5 together, button or pom pom in the center, add a few felt leaves. They look cute on stuffed animals, pencil, anything!
No thinking, scrap busting, take along project, no cost. winner/winner!
have you got a picture or link for this as it sounds really interesting but I am having trouble visualising it.

I do the 4 patch leaders/enders thing. I didn't know 'Arkansas Roads' was the name of the pattern. Thanks!!!
