OOOOO could you show us a pic???

There are pictures on here and a whole bunch of pages about the quilt, from before I finished it and after it was completed. Go to Search and you'll find it at "Fireworks Quilt Blocks Pieced". So the purple and blue stars were fused (the smallest ones).

I use snippets as small as a postage stamp for some of my quilts. I just throw them into a big bin until I have a collection that's big enough to work with.

Some people call them confetti quilts -- they can be amazing.
