That's when an Accuquilt would come in handy.

I've made watercolor quilt wall hangings that aren't on the wall. 2 inch squares are a part of life, and I'm tempted to make one with a Shimmer jelly roll. I am a gluten 2 inch square punishment.

I can do this (<- me convincing myself ) I can, I remember when I had two boxes of the tiny fabric samples from keepsake quilting and I decided to make planed scrappy nine patches from all 300 and then another one of the little boxes showed up in my 'assorted' bin???? Long story , longer, ended up with cute doll quilts ! p.s. they were like 1 1/2 inch pre-cuts, finished at 1 in. ....'pre-cut' was the only sane part of that project.....giggle.

I just noticed something more about the paint cards......the cutouts not only give you a good view of the color but also a preview of what a small piece of the fabric will look like....right now placing the aqua card on the deep pink fabric..... humm.... bet all of you already noticed this!

If you join the Yahoo group "Sew it's For Sale " there are used Accuquilts up for sale all the time. That is how I got mine at about half the retail cost. I did an In Search Of Post and had several offers to chose from. Some quilters buy these and then don't use them much and want to sell them so they can buy fabric, lol. I love mine, helps to save on the strains of rotary cutting.

The curlicues give a sense of movement. Seeing it with the tonal fabrics, it looks like it will go very nicely with them!
