Thanks for the link. Great idea.

I've made many MaM blocks - I think it was Carol Coski at Quilt-A-Way in VT that started them many years ago.
I cut mine 6 1/2" but always on an angle, not straight.
I've sashed them with multicoloured-striped strips cut horizontally.
One of these days I'll get them out of my UFOs and make up a quilt top.

I love these blocks. I'm making string blocks so use the trimmings from those for the crumbs. I love scrappy & these are fast and fun. I cut mine at 8 1/2" since I like bigger blocks.

Barb, thanks so much for posting this link!! I also seem to have a LOT of scraps!!! :D:D
And I love scrappies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I start out with two squares a lot of the time and do it like log cabins

One year I made more than 600 mile a min squares cut 9 1/2. All red, white, blue and sashed with navy blue. Turned them into quilts for the Alpha Omega Vets and they loved them. I always make RWB quilts for them, this year my guild helped me. I cut 31 jelly rolls from my stash and they made the tops. I then cut the borders, they added them, I quilted them on my long arm and they bound them with striped fabric. We turned in 33 with labels from the guild and they were over the moon.

I saved all the scraps so the year I am back to mile a min using all those RWB scraps. Can't wait to get my room cleaned up and organized again so I can start.
