(1" = 2.5") (3/4" = 2.25") (1/2 = 2") etc. Personally, I find the 1" easy to handle for a newbie (which I am LOL)

I had 2.5" squares pre-cut for a postage stamp quilt but started using them for my GFG. I was cutting 2.5 squares from any left over fabric and hubby was sorting by color. Here is one of the boxes I let him use to organize LOL. I now am up to 3 boxes, They are the 13 X 13 paper boxes for scrapbookers.
