I don't like sewing little pieces together. I prefer to sew strips together and then splice into smaller pieces, but that doesn't work well if you want a scrappy look. Years ago, I saw a product on one of the quilting shows (of which I no longer can get here). This product was a fusible product that was marked with grid lines. The quilter arranged her little squares in order and then fused with an iron. Then the piece was folded on the lines and stitched. I remember thinking that it was a cool product, but I've never seen it in stores (didn't really look for it) but I'm sure it's out there.

yes, I have seen that grid interfacing too. It is called quiltsmart or something like that. A lot of LQS carry it. I, myself have not used it. It does add another layer, so when quilting time comes there is more bulk there.....It is also available for Dresden Plate and probably more patterns.

You need an Accuquilt Go cutter. :thumbup:

I agree with that totally! I would like to get one.

That would be great. I am cutting them at 2".

Thanks for your offer. Sending you a PM.

I'm doing the 1 1/2 inch swap. I so little at a time. It's kind of stressful doing all the little squares.

i did the Arkansas Crossroads with 2 inch scrappies. I used them for baby quilts. My 6 mo. old grandson likes the pretty colors.It is him on the quilt in my picture.

Check out ebay item number 250849103174. The description says this vintage quilt was made of 1" squares! When I saw this I though of you and your PS quilt. I wondered if you might want to use this setting for your PS quilt. This quilt uses 8 squares x 8 squares for an 8" block; then she used a solid white 8" square for every other block. You could make your blocks whatever size you want and then repeat the size square with a solid of any color, or white or black. It would make a very striking quilt and still stay with the vintage look, but you would finish in half the time. Check it out and let me know what you think. Jan

I, too, could send you some 2" squares if you want more. Jan
