For those of you who want to know RIGHT NOW, she says cut a bunch of small squares and have them by your machine. When you get to the end of your seam, instead of sewing onto a sew-off square, put two of the little squares together and chain-piece onto them. So at the end of your #1 project you have assembled the little squares into #2 project, with very little additional time, energy or thread.<br /><br />kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-61344851476465879622014-03-23T21:22:46.469-04:002014-03-23T21:22:46.469-04:00You need to get Bonnie Hunter's book, Adventur...You need to get Bonnie Hunter's book, Adventures with Leaders and Enders! You'll actually be making a second project rather than just sewing on scraps.

I had forgotten we had the conversation.<br /><br />I do keep my sew off squares - but they will never make art - too much gray thread :) But maybe I'll get them out and photograph them some day and write a blog post.
