The strip tube ruler by Cozy Quilts Designs has many ways to use up your 2.5" strips or any other sizes you have.

Bento Box is quick and easy ... and spectacular when done. It doesn't have to be Asian fabrics, I've seen them done in batiks, two colors, etc.

I use strips to make 9 patch quilts, and almost everything else. I love quick piecing with strips.

Donac, Thank you so much for posting the information and website to MaryQuilts. That is a great site, and I am going to spend the rest of the day studying those quilts. Makes me want to cut up my entire stash into 2 1/2 inch strips.

Tube quilts are fast and easy, using strips. Look on the Missouri Star Quilt Company's website for tutorials. They have a bunch of free videos for quilting with precuts.
