Quiltville.com is a great site for anyone who wants to do more with their scraps. Here is Bonnie's description of what a "leader and ender" is:

Please post a picture of your quilt when finished. Would love to see it. You are very brave, don't think I could tackle that.

I was once told by a quilter...There really aren't "rules"...do your own thing...

I am making a postage stamp and was cutting out wondering the same thing but I decided hey it is my project and if there is more then one who knows but me also I read someplace that you just cut them out throw in bag and pull out and sew and that as long as they are small about 2 or under they work together so I think that is what i will try will see how it goes

What a great time to use the AccQuilt. You would have those little pieces cut in no time and have lots more time to sew. The cutting is the most tiring part of quilting because it has to be done standing up and my aging body can't take a lot of that at one time.

I don't see any problem at all with using fabrics that end up looking similar. As an earlier poster said, who will know?

I would never be able to make a postage stamp if you can't use the same fabric twice.
