Can you tell I love 2" squares?
Bunch of 2" squares, that's all it takes!
Inspiring and lovely. I'm thinking of knitting 2 inch squares from yarn ends.
ReplyDeleteOoh, you make me want to cut all my scraps into 2.5" squares!! I especially love the first design.
ReplyDeleteThat first quilt is now on my list of quilts to make one day!!! What a great post of what to do with 2.5 scrappy squares!!
ReplyDeleteYOu have been busy....very cool ideas here. I like the first one too!
ReplyDeleteSo many good ideas here to whittle away my scrap basket. I've been thinking about the popular Granny Square blocks, but separating them with squares instead of sashing as you did in picture no. 6. Maybe that's the design I should start with. Although I do like no. 1, and the last one and. ...
ReplyDeleteLove your 2" square quilt show! They're ALL beauties!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting all these great ideas, make me want to sew. Love the sea green.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable gorgeous, every single blocks. Very inspiring, thanks...
ReplyDeleteWow! I love them all!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun exhibit of 2" squares. I really like them all and especially the 2nd photo. The colors remind me of fruit salad - fresh and yummy!
ReplyDeleteToo clever, so simple! Its all about the colour.
ReplyDeleteI am hooked on little squares, too. I have a lot of leftover 2 1/2's from my early watercolour quilt days. Want to try some of your arrangements now.
ReplyDeleteI really love those first two... not that I don't love them all. But wow! Those first two are really singing to me!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAll those luscious colors in a simple square format. Does it for me/to me, every time. Sheer bliss.
ReplyDeleteMake them all!
Re photo #6 in this blog ... have you figured out how to set the blocks?? I have made this quilt and wasnʻt clever enough; so resorted to the basic inset, i.e. hand stitching each and every block! Labor of love and worth it, but Iʻd love to learn a better way.
ReplyDeleteWow! Coincidentally, I am working on some 2-in squares now, too. I love all your examples. I need to cut some more.
ReplyDeleteWOW WOW WOW! I LOVE your quilts made with 2" finished blocks! They are fabulous! I've started saving 2.5" squares too. What gorgeous quilts! Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!
