I cut 5.5" strips and after cutting the larger block off, cut the rest into 2.5" squares and gave a set of them to each of the members of my Vintage Sewing Club. I have 3-4 sets left for myself, though I'm not sure what I'll do with them yet.

I've already cut strips for two bargellos, and sewed up a blooming 9patch, but I had to buy a few coordinating fabrics for that one. The last is a king size, and I'm not going to quilt it until we get the longarm moved to it's new home where I'll have a bit more room to move around.
