Postage Stamp Quilt Question
I have 640 2-inch square pieces of fabric and would like to use them to make a quilt, but I don't want an all over pattern of the squares. Can anyone suggest a pattern that would be good for this number of pieces? Thanks in advance.

You could make 40 16-patch blocks. Set them in an arrangement 5 wide by 8 long.
Use a separate fabric in either a dark or neutral color to put sashing around your blocks. Use a wide sashing - it will be visually interesting and will enlarge your quilt. |

I used 2" squares in my cathedral window quilt.
