Thanks Sandy. I really *do* love FPP! In fact, I find the square ruler awkward (though I most use the 6.5" and
4.5"!). It got a lot easier when I got the turntable cutting board. I do nevertheless get plenty of strip scraps! (that's quite difficult to say out loud >gHowdy!Log Cabin Quilt

What a great idea to use up some scrap strips! my mom does these blocks and they're always so beautiful. i'll have to put this on my list for this year! thanks for the idea. can't wait to see how you progress! keep us informed! amy inCNY
Kate: I really like the off kilter LC Blocks. Cut the dark strips about 1.5" and cut the light strips wider ... maybe 2.25". Center square should be about 2" or so. They would finish to 1", 1.75, and 1.5"; set together, the narrow strips form an illusion of a curve. This is very cool. To determine the proportions YOU prefer, play with this on paper. Scrappy LC are lovely, though I do prefer continuity of the center square. HTH. PAT in VA/USA
