This is my pinterest page where I have pinned the scrap quilts that inspire me. If you scroll down a bit you will see a bunch of quilts made with 2 or 2.5" squares. "Growing Up Odd" is pretty cool, as is "wonky stars".

There is also a pattern online called "Crazy 8s" that works with our little candies.
