I love it, but what will you do with all of those scraps??

LoL!! I was wondering that myself while cutting these out. :wink:
The squares would be good starters for some log cabin but, will probably just end up in one of the boxes/buckets/baskets with all the other scraps til I need them for something.
Thanks for all the kind words, this block really is a lot of fun even with the tediousness involved.

Save those little squares! Square them up to 2.5in, cut all your other measurements exactly in half, & make a mini version! It works, trust me! I did one & it came out great! Pic later!... Mine was with 5in squares to begin with, so this is the size I am referring to...

Beautiful!! I can't wait to see the rest :D:D:D

Did you use 3/4" for the sides of the square or did you go a bit smaller than that? I was thinking of trying maybe 1/2" instead to see about a less chunky blade. Anyone have tips or thoughts for this?

I don't remember, but a little smaller like that, I think. You still want pinwheel effect, so adjust accordingly...

Ya know, I just might end up doing that with the scraps. Thanks for the idea!
My hubby seen the mess in there this morning(I have 3 scrap piles on the table as I've been working on my Harry Potter quilt too) and says to me very sternly :wink: "Good grief woman!! It looks like an episode of Hoarders in here, how do you get anything done?!?!" I just about fell on the floor laughing just looking at his face when he said it. Too funny! :lol:
