A Quartet of Color...for Joanne. Here are four of my little mile a minute blocks. Finish size will be 6". These are like eating peanuts. I can't stop with just one. I throw all my smaller pieces (and sometimes things I've seen TOO much of) into a scrap basket on my shelf.Then, when I have a "lower than snakehips" day, or my mind is distracted with a problem, I sit and make m.a.m. blocks. I have done several twin size quilts from these. Also some cuddle size and baby quilts. The rule is there is no rule. You can cut down orphans, add to orphans, use left over triangles, bits of pockets or advertising..anything that trickles your fancy. They are truly "Pieces from my scrapbag".

Oh these are just too adorable!
Fascinating - "sane" Crazy quilts. (Crazy Quilters call "nornal" quilters "sane" quilters. :)
Do you usually intend to have parallel lines, or do you sometimes do weird things???? If you use triangles you must verge off, I guess, and sometimes there would be fans?
So I guess this picture is perhaps not typical of the whole range.
Would love to see a bit more.
I love your mile a minute blocks -- that works just as well as the string blocks -- or maybe better because you can use anything, not just strips! Great idea -- thanks! I can see these in all those leftover bright kids fabrics!
Dear Finn, you are so inspiring! You make me want to make something creative. I still haven't tried the crazy patch yet but you know why. Maybe next week.
