Look below in the pictures (digest mode) Angiecub just showed a beautiful one.

I'm also working on this but struggling with the most efficient way to sew it together. How are you doing yours? I'm thinking of sewing the 3 common squares together and then add the one squares and then doing it im smaller blocks of squares and then sew all the blocks together. Any advice?

The Film At Five at this site http://weddingdressblue.wordpress.com/tutorials/ was the quilt I"m working on next with my charms.

Very striking ideas!

Here's a great one that I have made! Enjoy It's called Chiclets

Wow, so many ideas. Ill never get to sleep tonight!

Hi. I have made an easy quilt top from small sqs. Its called Country Checkers. I forgot where but if you google the quilt name .... It consists of 5 rows of 5 sqs(25 in all), then make a large pinwheel of lt and darks and use as a set between the checker blocks. It is set on point. I gave this as a gift and another friend wants to do one to use her stash of small sqs. It is easier than it sounds. Best of luck Okie quilter.

I knew this was the right place to ask. I will need more 2.5" squares to do the great ideas that you have all shared. Thanks so much and I have sewing to do!! Will try to post a pic when I get something done.

Just got my Dec. issue of BH&G american patchwork and quilting. I'm starting to collect 2.5" squares as we type for the quilt on the cover. It will take a while to complete but WOW!

It might not help with the quick and simple you are looking for but it has the 2.5" requirement!:D

I still like to do simple 9P on point for fast quilts. It takes half as many pieced blocks when you alternate them with a filler fabric. They get big real fast and look good too.

hope you find what you are looking for.
peace

EDIT: There are some great ideas shown here from all the site suggestions. More for me to add to my ever growing list! Thename of the quilt I am going to start is called Charming Addition

I do a 2.5" swap 4 times a year at The Curious Quilter. For those without a stash they have people who donate 50 squares to help people get started. You might want to sign up for next years swaps to help build a stash or add variety.
