*My 1" Postage Stamp with a Twist Quilt

Using only my smallest scraps that I've saved, and a thick 1½" square cardboard template, I cut my squares by laying the cardboard on the scrap - holding it with my left hand, I then use my pinking shears to cut it to size around the edge of the template.

I then stitch them into the 4-Patch units, as described above.

And then into the Unit A & Unit B blocks
