Have you seen Nann's Scraptacular tutorial she did on her blog Freda's Hive?
I really enjoy this blog! And I love the quilt Nann did in her tutorial. It's a fabulous way to use up all those extra 2 1/2" and 4 1/2" squares and extra scraps.
Nann's Scraptacular Quilt:
Isn't it beautiful! I love that border fabric as well. So, lets have a Quilt-a-Long! Five minutes is all it takes to make three blocks!
First, head over to Freda's Hive for Nann's Scraptacular Tutorial!
Second, pull out all those extra 4 1/2" and 2 1/2" scrap squares. If you don't have a nice amount already cut, just pop a good movie on the telly and have a nice cutting session with your scraps.
Third, sign your blog up on the Linky doo-hicky thing-a-ma-jig below so everyone can find you. If enough people sign up, I'll put everyone's links up on my sidebar.
For a twin-size quilt (68" x 88") you need 156 squares, and two simple borders, just like Nann's. That's just 3 blocks a day for two months.
Too big a commitment? 3 blocks a day for one month will be a nice throw or baby blanket!
3 Blocks a day, that's all I ask. So COME ON, let's use up that stash! Stop buying, start using!

OK- leaders and enders should be not problem to get only three blocks done a week! &:-D What would life be without my scrap box of 2" squares!
Zowee- I found two baggies with wine fabric scraps! I need to cut them all up today into 2.5 & 4.5. This block works great for leader & ender. Oh what fun!
All right, Dionne and Linda, I'm in! I shall start cutting squares out of my kid fabric bins... so many leftovers. It will make a nice giveaway quilt...
