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

Etchings from Moda Bake Shop is the quilt I'm going to start next.

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.

Great thread. Thanks for all the possibilities.

Yes, all the "hints" are fantastic. Good thing I have so many strips; I can try them all!

I just made a dresden plate using 2.5 inch strips. Found the pattern in archives great pattern!

Scrap-Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett has just what you are looking for. I am like you don't want just straight sewen 2 1/2 inch strips. I got mine from Amazon.com

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.
