    loisf - love the controlled scrappy look

    I don't think 9 patch alternated with snowball blocks has been mentioned.

    I'm using 2" squares for a scrappy Irish chain from Bonnie Hunter's book Adventures with Leaders and Enders.

    I am in the process of making a quilt with 2 inch squares. It is called "common sense". It requires about 1300 2 inch squares plus background. You can probably google it to see it. I cut 30's reproduction fabrics for mine, but you can use any fabrics.

    This may sound stupid but, what are leaders and enders? I sometimes use a little piece of fabric to start sewing so the machine doesn't "eat" the good fabric and also at the end but how would you use that to join them together to put together in a block. Can't seem to get my mind around it. Could be the time of day too, lol.

    Sunkistmi,
    leaders and Enders are small pieces of fabric you feed under your pressure foot right before and after the fabric you are piecing (chain stitch style) to keep your stitching straight and to keep from having any small points getting "eaten" up. Others are referring to using planned, precut squares for the leaders and Enders and then using them in a separate, second quilt. Look back to a post on this board started on 2/2/14 by lynnie--it gives a lot of great info on leaders and enders
