You have inspired me! I have a shoebox full of 'bars' that I had planned on sewing into a braid quilt. The shoebox lives on my shelf next to the shoeboxes full of 2 1/2" squares, next to the shoebox of 3" squares, next to the shoebox of 3 1/2" squares and 4, 4 1/2, 5 and 6 inch squares! Not sure if I'll ever use them. Maybe I should downsize?
