Squares are like potato chips!

You can't cut just one! I started cutting out my 6.5 inch squares for our scrappy swap, then of course I thought well I can't just cut out 2 squares off a chunk of fabric, I'll cut a strip or two and several 6.5 squares. So I have 28 ready to go out of 50 but 220 sitting in a pile!

I'll have enough for the Kid's Club that's for sure! Maybe we'll have another 6.5 inch swap soon.

On the other hand there's me, who has a pile of "not quite square and less than 6.5in" pieces from learning how to use a rotary cutter.

Whenever I make an apron, I can get a couple charm squares (5 inch) from the scraps.

I have a whole box of them.

I have a bunch of 5 inch squares too,, because I forgot about the 1/4 seam allowance!

Lets see....5 inch squares make lovely 4.5 inch four squares ( 9 inch blocks) that are nice alternated with a 9 inch block of print or solid fabric. You can even put a sashing between them.
