Love your quilts, it is hard to pick a favorite. I love scrappy quilts and you can do so many things with 2.5 squares. I keep a box of 2.5 squares. I don't cut up my extra fabric, but if I have small pieces that are 2.5 then I save those. They also come in handy when I want to do a sample block, or if my DGD wants a quilt for her doll - she will go through my basket - picks her squares and we put together a small quilt.
