When I first started quilting, I bought some 9 patch squares, tiny green polka dots and beige tone on tone. Not knowing what I was going to do with them but they were real reasonable. Much to my amazement, I found the identical fabrics in my stash so I decided to make them into an Irish chain. I asked my DH to cut me 24, 8" squares out of the tone on tone beige. Although he is a perfectionist with his projects, he cut them 7" x 8". I haven't touched them since as I don't know what to do with them. I will be interested in some of the replies as I don't have enough fabric left to do them over. Good Luck
