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!

Maybe I am DUMB, but
what are Leaders & Enders??

My ender is my starter for the next time I sew; keeps me from having to hold the threads when starting the next time.

what a smart idea; heretofore, I'd only used scraps.

I've only used scraps as well. I really like using squares and making a scrappy something in the end. The wonderful ideas you all have. I never think of things like this.

That's why we have the board. Some one else does the thinking and sharing. Good deal, huh?

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.

Yes I use them. God bless. Penny
