Someone gave me a box of 2" strips in shades of green and mauve. Does anyone know of a pattern using lots of this size strip? There are not enough for a whole quilt, but I would love to use most of them, if possible. Can purchase more fabric to work with them. Thanks for any suggestions.

Go to Missouri Star Quilt Company and look at all of their tutorials that use 2.5 inch strips, but I would think that 2 inch strips would work as well. Log cabins are always an idea. Good luck in finding a pattern that you like.

they would work for borders on blocks.

Log cabin or pineapple blocks :D:D:D

I'd plan a log cabin around the strips.

Rail fence is always nice.

I would do a rail fence, it is easy.

Roman stripe is also a nice block to use up various width strips.

It will just need a little extra complementary fabric for the half triangle.

Log cabin or Warm Wishes

use them to make tube quilting blocks

I'd go with rail fence or log cabin. Or maybe a Chinese Coin.

Many, many thanks to all of you who so graciously advised me regarding patterns for 2" strips. I am new and so glad for the help. Now to decide which to use, and get to work. Thanks again.

I'm new here and havent quilted in awhile. I have loved seeing the pre-cut Moda (and other manufacturer) products out there as I'm a horrible rotary cutter. I just purchased two books on Jelly roll quilts (a Jelly roll is Moda's name for a large batch of 2.5" strips rolled up). Very cute. I want to do a quilt whereby I use them to outline certain blocks. I've seen several of different patterns even sewn together to make a really cool looking binding. I've also seen some strip quilts with applique (all the strips sewn together length wise and then some applique done on top) You can also sew several together and then cut then for unique border strips or blocks.. Have fun!
