I would only do it as long as it is a block that can be cut down. There sometimes is variety in sizes with block swaps. Sounds like the ones you mention could be adjusted if need be.

Okay I asked my friend about it today and that is where she got the idea from was that DVD. And she agreed the rest of it was not as interesting.

I have attached the pdf she sent me via email that explains it. Just hit the download button and it will come up.

Thanks Henry, I can hardly wait to try it! A good way to use up some stash pieces.

Someone was super sweet enough to send me the The Take Five quilt pattern which could be done 1.2 yd's or 7/8's yards.. and it was great as I had ordered a bunch of 1/2 yds of various fabrics that went together as I knew that I woud eventually be able to use them. I am now, in between my normal stuff, putting together various plastic zip bags with 5 1/2 yard pieces in it. I never worry about my borders until I am am finish the initial quilt top. But It's a very pleasant and easy pattern and playing with my fabric lends so many possiblities to the quilts as Christ mas gifts. Nice lap size.

I have never tried it either but it looks like something I would like to do. Thanks Henry! Are you going to do it?

I think I am going to do it. I think I may use my time at the beach this weekend to begin. We'll see if I can lug my sewing machine and stuff with me.
