    I don't have a pattern or picture to share but I went to an Amish quilt show many years ago and they had a quilt and they were all 2 in or 2.5 inches. But they had arranged them into hearts, with white squares between. I have an old photo but not at home to be able to scan it. They had all different fabrics for the hearts except each one had a red square in the middle.

    Bonnie Hunter's leader / ender project for this year is a tumbler quilt. Her blog has free directions.

    I made the one they call Sunny Lanes from Quilters Cache-it's the 22nd one down on the right side of your monitor. I made it with 2in. finished squares. It was done with scraps and it used up a lot of them. This went together very quick. I am going to make another one for my nephew and his new wife.

    What a great find. I love a challenge like that. At our Project Linus events, I always check out the challenge box. It's like putting a jigsaw puzzle together making it all work into something wonderful. Please post a picture for us.

    Another thought, have you ever tried hexgons? Hand sewn? 2.5" squares work very nicely for 1" hexies. Also a scrappy Burgoyne Surround?? https://www.google.com/search?q=burg...FUo5iAodxbwE8A
