I was wanting to make custom pieces for the game "Settlers of Catan". They don't receive heavy wear when you play, but I was wondering which would be better, or if a great difference cheaper, to cast - clay or plaster? Both should paint without much trouble. Any suggestions?

Well I like to sew things and I want to start making my own clothes, like basic cotton t-shirts (hanes) but I have not seen that fabric around. Is there a specific name for it?

I'm making a quilt for my niece's graduation. The pattern alternates large 7 1/2 inch batik squares with four-square patches of black and white. So far, so good. All the batiks are cut, and all of the four-patch squares are sewn with standard 1/4 inch seams.

The pattern called for 3 1/2 squares to make up the four-patches. So now I have all of these four-patches that are 1/2 in larger in both dimensions than the batik squares ... and the only way I can figure how to fix this so that they're the same size as the batiks is to carefully cut off 1/4 inch off each side of the four-patches. We're talking 50 of them. How best to do this? Time is of the essence; I don't have a lot of spare sewing time to begin with, and this is now putting me further behind -- with quilting and binding yet to be done! (Needless to say, I'll be machine quilting in-the-ditch if I ever get to that point!)
