I have a ??? pattern(s) to use 2''-2 1/2''
 

Is there a pattern(s) to use 2''-2 1/2''. I have a lady friend giving me these strip sizes, I mention. I will exclude a log cabin. Anything but that pattern. Don-isewman

The jelly roll race quilt is a quick and easy one for strips.

I've used that size in Rail Fence, also.

Rail fence, the utube quilt by 3 dudes, island chain (don't recall where I found pattern for that one), the #9 mystery train scrappy in the blocks of the week and month section of this board. I've used all of these and been happy with the results.

I made a friendship braid quilt using 2 1/2 inch strips.

How about a Bento box

www.cozyquilt.com has a bunch of patterns on their strip club link. Videos also

French braid quilts are a good choice. They are easy, straight forward with fabulous results.

You could do a scrappy Irish Chain.... using the strip method. A triple Irish Chain done scrappy can be beautiful.

Here are a few more ideas

I've made a couple of different quilts with 2-1/2"....

I like this Buckeye Beauty at cozy quilt.

You could make a basket weave - rail fence - strip quilt, lots of patterns for those strips.

So many quilts to choose from Don. I like the quilts from Cozy Strips as mentioned above. Here are photos off of a Google search. See if there is anything that you would find fun to make:

Don- I am currently using 2.5" strips to make a QAG, I made one on the diagonal and now I am working on a rail fence idea that may or may not work as planned, but because it is my favorite colors, and for me, I will love it either way. I am working on squares that are 12.5".

ditto Missouri Star Quilt Company. I just finished Summer in the Park....it is easy and got many compliments

My favorite pattern for 2 1/2 strips is Boxed Squares. It is very easy, but can be impressive with lots of colors.

Check out the book "Noodle Soup" by Debbie Caffrey she has several books using those strips including one called Worms I think. Any way they are very fun quilts she also has some beautiful mystery quilts as well.

How about a String Quilt one of my favorite blocks. This is fabric fondation pieced 12.5" blocks if I remember right it's around 100x103

When all else fails and you want something quick, make a strip quilt. If you have enough strips of one color/print, you can use that for the center strip on all your blocks and make a cohesive pattern. If not, scrappy is wonderful. froggyintexas

There are lots o quilt block patterns out there, where you can take 2 1/2" strips and subcut them into other shapes, squares, HST's, rectangles, etc. I would go to quilterscache.com for inspiration.

Almost any of the Cozy Quilt patterns on this page: http://cozyquilt.com/Aspx/ProductList.aspx?CatID=15. Friendship braid pattern at Missouri Star.

Framed 9 patches also works with this size.

Strip Twist at Quiltville.com, Summer In the Park at Missouri Star Quilt Company, but Bento Box is my favorite for strips!

I just finished this simple 16 Patch using 2" strips. You could easily use 2.5" strips instead.

on, look at some of the quilt sites for free patterns. You will find a bunch. And you can google "strip quilt free patterns" also and will come up with a lot. Craftsy also has free patterns to download

WTxRed I LOVE the flag quilt. Could you send me the pattern name so I could make it? What a great cuddle quilt for the sofa!!

Check out jellyrollfabric.net. Liz Katsuro sells 20 fabric jelly rolls & has many free patterns that are all done with 2-1/2" strips.

Eleanor Burns Zig a Zag on youtube

There is a book by Quilt in a Day (Eleanor Burns) called Still Stripping After All These Years. It is their 25th anniversary book. You can probably get a used one on Amazon or Ebay. The entire book is about 2-1/2 inch strips. There are lots of patterns each in multiple sizes.

The library is a wonderful place to get quilting books to gain inspiration. I love watching the Missouri quilt star company on youtube! Lots of great ideas

Be creative try to design your own block.

I'm also doing a scrappy trip around the world quilt with 2.5" strips that is turning out really fun.

Bonnie Hunter has a quilt book "Leaders and Enders" that has a Irish Chain using 2" squares
