I admire your quilt because it is truly beautiful. But, I admire your organized way of preparing your scraps to have the leaders and enders ready to use as you proceed with another project. I use scraps as leaders and enders over and over until I can't stitch across them again. It saves thread, the possibility of 'bird-nesting', etc. But, it would be nice to be organized and have something to show for the effort-like a beautiful quilt.

It turned out beautifully...is that pattern on Bonnie's quiltville page? I just finished a queen size leader/ender project and used Arkansas Crossroads pattern but as I've started another pile of 2 1/2 inch squares, I am looking for something different.

Great quilt. I've watched some of her Quiltville on You Tube, and I'm considering doing one of her quilts, as I have lots and lots of scraps.

I always pick out some simple patterns for my leader and ender quilts since Marsha McCloskey suggested using a scrap of fabric under the needle in one of her books I read years ago.
