This is just a great scrappy quilt. I'd also like to know if you used 2 1/2" squares or 3 1/2" squares to start? Did your blocks finish at 8 1/2" or 12 1/2" or would it even matter? This is probably just quilter's personal choice. The photograph is good but doesn't really tell me the measurements. I can see this working really well for all those bits and pieces that quilters accumulate. Thank-you for sharing.
