Nann recently posted about some MixMatch blocks she dis/uncovered. Both Nann's and Shelly's versions required sizes that didn't exactly fit the scraps I cut and save, using Bonnie Hunter's Scrap User System.
So I wondered (and commented about) what would happen if, instead of cutting strips down, I used bricks I'd already cut to size. In Nann's version, resulting in a 5" (finished) block, she started with three 1.5" squares sewn in a row resulting in a 3.5" strip. To the top and bottom of that strip she sewed 1.5"x3.5" rectangles.
Well, my scraps are cut to 2"x3.5" bricks. What would happen if I used those instead? The following round in Nann's version would need 1.5"x4.5" strips. But I've got bricks cut 2.5"x4.5". What would happen if I used those instead?
So I did, just to answer that question: what would happen?
