Are you using 2 in unfinished?
If they are finished squares then jelly rolls would work well.
Otherwise you end up with very small squares.

loveTooQuilt, beautiful quilts. I especially admire the first one.
How many thousand 2inch squares?

Glad someone didn't say that about the 'sewing machine'......although hand sewing is still done, just as rotary and scissor cutting...the 'cutting machine' is one step up.......

I think the point that was trying to be made was just cut those scraps,yardage into whatever size you want and the two quilts were ideas as to what one can do with the cuts. The GO has dies for many sizes........2"squares are what Bonnie hunter uses for her leaders/enders theory....then a quilt....I'm working on one too.....thanks for the ideas for the next ones!

I cut strips and store them until needed...

I do, too. Accuracy is so important...a little off on each corner adds up in the overall project really fast.
