You're crazier than we are. Hand piecing a postage stamp quilt (of any size squares) is pure insanity when there's a sewing machine nearby.
Bahahaha! Seriously! I swear that after doing my FWQ I would never hand piece another quilt but I can kinda see having a basket of these squares by my chair & working on them while I watch TV. I hate not having something in my hands..... BUT I am not that crazy (yet) and I have enough project to do to keep me busy.

This is going to make a great take along project. I always try to keep a few things in totes to grab if I have to go somewhere I'm going to have to spend a lot of time setting.

Wow - It is looking great. What a nice job. One of the ladies at our grange loves making quilts with little 2 1/2" squares. She has made 3 of them so far. she just love doing that. i put a scollaped border on one of them for her. She was very happy with it. I'm working on a full size quilt at the present time. It's a grandmother's fan pattern. I just love sewing !! I pretty much sew something everyday. Makes me happy. Glad to be able to help out a little. Let me know if there is anything I can do any time.

Oh my! I'm never going to catch you now. giggle I haven't even sewn the first block together. I got your package today of the charms you sent. Thank you!!!!!!
Now I'm confused. I think I see two different size charms laying on your cutting mat. Which size is it that you are working with. So I can send you some back in return.

There are 1 1/2 in squares that people sent but mostly using 2 and 2 1/2 in squares then I trim them as I go. Each square is 1 in finished size.
