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!

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!

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!
