Thread: A zillion 31/2 inch squares

I have enough squares to make a few quilts. I have started using the 31/2 squares to make a bow tie quilt. There were lots of blue: enough for the background. That will take care of a lot of them. Thanks again for the great suggestions.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I always wanted to try a landscape quilt. I may give that a try. Your trip around the world is lovely. I also found a sweet quilt at Freda's Hive. Lots of ideas to think about!

I have a scrappy pattern called "Triple Irish Chain". It is so cool. 16 squares make up one square. The next square would have 3 scrappy squares at each corner with white in the center. The white parts are cut in rectangles to make up that square. Didn't search for the pattern to see if it's out there. Found it an quite old quilt mag. Hope to make it this year. It's keeps calling me. I did make up one of each of the squares, so there's a start.

I also have a bunch of 3.5" vintage squares. Any interest in swapping some of your for mine?? I would like to make a postage stamp quilt but will need variety. PM if you are interested.

Look for the Mondo Bag pattern. It's a great bag that requires 280 2-1/2 inch squares.

Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts has some wonderful scrappy patterns. She has a website and her books are available through Amazon.com.
