    I found this site a few days ago and I am enjoying your progress. The video link may been to be corrected, since it is referring to a previously uploaded video???

    Since you seem to be consistent with the size of the blocks of fabric, are you planning to make quilts of all of your little blocks?

Since you have interesting names, somehow those should be incorporated into the quilt. It would make for an interesting display at quilt shows.

    I think of the squares almost as paint chips that I can switch out as needed. Really they're more like texture chips!

    Happy Quilting,

    Leah
