I had a big stack of 8.5 inch squares cut for who knows what. So, I've been sewing them together in a "big block" quilt for the couch. 9 rows by 9 columns with a small border. The center went together in about 3 hours. Now, I'm digging through my neutral/tans scraps to see what I can find for the border and all my odds n' ends pieces for the backing.
