I'm not sure yet, but I think I will hand piece them as I have not worked with squares that small by machine for a very long time. This is my first swap, so I will work at it little by little.
I have some left over from cutting, so may practice with them by machine, or save for another swap.
The double Irish chain sounds nice.

I am new here... just joined a few minutes ago. I would love to join this swap for the maximum sets. I love scap quilts! I do have one question. Do the separate sets need to be all different fabrics, or can we use the same fabric in different sets?

my question is along the lines with Nell. I just reread the rules...Do I have to have 50 "different" stamps in each set? I entered for 10 sets.
I am a newbie and do not have even close to 50 different fabrics.
If this is the case I sadly will have to withdraw.

They have to be all different. Check the first page it should explain and PM Missi to sing up.
Hope this will help :-)

Yes they do, but if you can get the 1.5 square out of any scrap that should be fine as long as there are no duplicates in a set.
Hope you can fine some , you have until March 15 th, I think to may be find some more.
How many fabrics are you short ?

I just checked out this site. Her method is ingenious!! She says it works best for a wall hanging, pillow, purse, etc., but may not be the best for a larger quilt. I'm now thinking I'll reserve some of these for a wall hanging just so I can give this method a try.

Thanks for sharing this link!
