    If I had them, I'd give them to someone else! Don't have the patience for such small pieces.

    Lacelady - your quilt is stunning.

    Right now I am making a quilt around the world with 1" squares. Will post a picture, when I get it finished.

    I don't have that kind of patience.

    i agree, and if confetti is not an option, find someone who loves 1 inch squares and give them away. hats off to all of you who can work with pieces so small!! I know i can't!

    There are plenty of MINI maniacs who could put 1" charms to use!

    I have these cutters that came in a group I bought.

    This is definitely something I'll try! :

    Thanks for sending pictures I can now visualize one inchies in a quilt!

    The other suggestion about confetti is also a good one except I hate to waste fabric LOL!

    one inch cutter and little rectangle cutter....accucut

    I think a Trip Around The World would be lovely with 1 in. sq. Have you seen the Insanity Quilt done with 1/2 in hexagons? If that brave lady can do that, you can sure do just as well!
