Not a silly question at all! I've not seen the blocks obviously but know how many colors I had so I'm looking forward to just laying it out and being creative. Maybe use one of my counted cross stitch type patterns! I might even use up more of my stash of pieces since this didn't even make a dent! I did a postage stamp wall hanging once and it convinced me that many pieces of fabric can actually go together even though in a big piece I would never put it together!

how about a sudoku (sp) layout for a small doll quilt or mug mats/ pot holders?

YIPPEE... I finished my 10 sets last night.

This morning I counted one set just to make sure and found I had put 60 - 1.5" squares in it. HuH?

Looked on the wall where I had hung a sample each time I completed cutting 10 pieces from each fabric and found that I had done 6 rows of 10 fabrics. Must have gotten too excited about completing my sets. Oh well, my loss your gain. Not loss really. A treat for those who get my sets. Oh, and I included a set for you Missi. I will get those in the mail tomorrow. :-D :-D :-D

I was at a Premiere Jewelry party last night and scooped up all of the little plastic bags that they package their jewelry in. Everyone kept asking - what do you want them for :)

What do you do with the 1 1/2" squares? Are you using them as fillers? Not quite sure what to do with that small of a square.

I was wondering also. Do someone has quilts made with that size or a Doll quilt?

I plan on using them for borders. If Eric's Mystery Quilt doesnt have anything designated then this will be the border for it. I can't wait!

Blessings, Ruth

(I like your Rail Fence Quilt. That is my favorite pattern, smtp5.)
