to put together Pick Up Sticks for the Jo's Little Women class:
Being delighted with these little 3" squares, I decided to use them for the setting for the set of 17 Jo's Little Women Club swap blocks:
and I may add more of the same for a scalloped border:
This is quite the stash busting project. Only now I'm three blocks behind on Dear Jane :-).

I love the strippy alternate blocks!!
Love it...fantatic idea ...the quilt is great..*S*
Very cute little quilt. I may have to copy you! Isn't that the sincerest form of flattery? he he....Of course, they are even better as alternate blocks. Lovely...
wicked fun! looks so cool.
Those little blocks do make a great setting! What a good idea!
what a fabulous idea! I'm completely smitten and am definitely going to try that myself! Your blocks are just lovely and the colours gorgeous - my favourite style of patchwork.
I love the Pick Up Sticks quilt and what a great idea to use them in the swap block quilt too! Cute!
Well golly you may be a tiny bit behind but I'm totally inspired by what you just whipped out. You go!!!
My club members are working on their Pick Up Sticks quilts too. I have mine all pinned and ready for quilting. I used most of the Jamestown line. It's so fun to see Jo's older fabric used.
It's very cute.
Thanks so much for sharing.
I LOVE that layout! Your blocks are sensational and the rail fence as alternates is great!
This is turning out so well, and the little all stripes quilt is adorable.
The strippy alternate blocks set this off a real treat - one more idea to store away for future use
What a clever idea!! I may "borrow" it to set my CW blocks eventually. Thanks!!
Hi Karen, I love how your set your sampler blocks! It's becoming a great quilt
What a great fun idea!
There's just nothing more fun than playing with little strips of fabric . . . the ways to use them up seem endless *S*
I love it - great setting. Makes me wish my sewing room wasn't packed!
doni - a NE short timer
Love those blocks for setting and they don't overwhelm your other blocks.
Oh my gosh I just finished my Pick up sticks, I love your version, very scrappy. The swap blocks look like fun, I look forward to seeing your finished quilt.
