    I may try putting a 4 patch together to see what it is like sewing l inch squares. Know I won't do more than one 1 four patch.
    Blue Bell--there was a St Gladys in Britian eons ago!! TY! Okay so you want to try to do one. Well do 2 or 3, set them on point and put them in a picture frame like I have done here.
    PS LC underneath was done with 3/4" strips--no PP.

    Done with 3/4 squares to finish at 1/2 4P blocks

    What kind of cutter makes hundreds of one inch squares? I'd like to see that.

    What a gorgeous quilt. Is it paper pieced?

    What a super great idea. I can do that!
    Do you sew 1/4 inch seams and do you trim them to an 1/8th?
