    1 inch squares would really make me crazy - it would be the matching the corners that would send me off to the funny farm.

    You are SOOOO right!! Tiny pieces are wonderful!!! Lots and lots and lots and lots of them :)

    Yes, a postage stamp or TATW would great in 1" (but like Kwhite, not quite as good as one made out of 3/4" <g> )

    It does, and you could do it that way ... but it's made to be strip pieced. I've got that one going now.

    Mine are 2cm finished, because at the time, I could only find metric graph paper! It's very much a work in progress, as I only do it when I want a change from my current project. You can do anything any size you want

    I would use them for specific areas of the quilt, like where I wanted shading or something very very busy looking. There isn't really a law that says you have to limit yourself to an entire quilt.

    You may not be right, but you certainly are in good company!!! I am honored to stand out there with you. I have now made 7 postage stamp sized TATWs. And and now working on making 9Ps for sashing cornerstones that finish at a whopping 1 1/2 inches!!

    I don't have that kind of patience.
    Amen to that! I also like Eleanor Burns' idea. Toss it over your shoulder and "Get rid of it."
