Estelle:
In US Coins, a Nickel is worth five cents. Pat Speth wrote a few books based on making quilts using mainly 5" squares. She calls these Nickel Quilts. So many of us call 5" squares Nickel Squares. Personally I prefer to trade 6" squares!

I have a pack of 4" Christmas squares I inherited and I keep seeing
packs for 4" squares on Ebay, but it seems a strange size to choose. What would you use a 4" square for? - 4.1/2" yes, but 4"? Just a bit of a nothing size to me. Or am I missing something? -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~ http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin On Wed, 26 Oct 2005 14:28:10 -0400, Pat in Virginia wrote: Estelle: In US Coins, a Nickel is worth five cents.

She came to our guild as a guest speaker. By the time the evening was over
I think I was seasick from the scrappy quilts that were shown, one after the other, after the other, ad nauseum. I wanted to stand up and shout, "I get it! You can make a lot of different designs from swapping 5 inch squares and cutting them up!!!" I think quilters have been doing that for a century or more! Sorry if I offended anyone who's having a ball trading squares. The gals in our guild who were trying to arrange a 5 inch swap before that particular meeting were ready to tear their hair out before it was over. I guess we have a lot in our guild who can't follow directions. I have to admit I wasn't one of them.....I didn't want or need anymore scraps at my house.

I use them for applique when I just need a bit of something for say a flower center or an accent leaf or two. I guess they would work well for Billy Lauder's method of making nine patches with squares. Wouldn't matter the size as long as they were all the same. Or, Anita's methods for square in a square, old italian and plain blocks she showed on Simply Quilts last Monday. I know you can access those directions on the HGTV website. marcella |

Estelle, "nickel squares" are 5". The design concept was popularized by Pat
Speth, www.patspeth.com She's written two books: Nickel Quilts and More Nickel Quilts, both published by That Patchwork Place. There are many nickel square swaps. My "Twenty-Cent Geese" (in the Nov. issue of The Quilter) is called that because each flying geese block is made from four nickel squares, or twenty cents' worth. I've used nickels in several projects. http://community.webshots.com/user/nbhilyard Nann "Estelle Gallagher" wrote in message ...
