I was browsing on ebay for fabric and bought some fabric squares before realizing they were only 2 inches. There are 72 of them and they are all in pinks. I was thinking I would make a valentines table runner. Any ideas?

they would look gorgeous made into a scrappy heart quilt.

Great colors

Runner is a good idea. How about a 9P alternating with white squares? 5 color/4 white and 5 white/4 color

They are beautiful! I don't think they look like an oops.

I like the table runner idea.

Yeah i did the same thing only mine were 4". The thing is I knew it said 4" but I was still picturing a bigger square.

I like this idea and that would make them go farther.

I love the colors, the oops comes in the size, I had searched for charm squares, and thought they were 5" by 5" but they are only 2" by 2" so that limits what I can do with them.

Looks like a darling little girly quilt...

Oh, yes! Great idea Tussymussy

They're very pretty and I think whatever you make with them will be pretty.

very pretty!

Do it postage stamp style. get out some graph paper and draw your pattern. Make the background white. Then say each square on the graph paper is a "pixel" and fill it in with either a pink or white square. Bind it in pink and it will be maaaahhh-velous!

nice variety of prints. I like the runner idea too.

Cathedral windows?

Sew them all together just like you have them layed out. That would be a really pretty quilt.

They are very pretty, what ever you make.

coin quilt with extra rows since they are short

You could make a Valentine's table runner and make the little 2" squares into tiny little prairie points to border the table runner with.

Looks like an Opportunity not an oops

I really like the idea of a scrappy heart shape. Maybe on a tabletopper or small wall hanging?

Add some white and make a girl baby quilt. 9 patch or irish chain.

Would you sew them together individually like you have them laid out? I have a stack of 2-2 1/2 inch squares leftover from a Lil Twister quilt. All I could think of was Prairie Points.

What about something like a colorwash? Sorry this may nto be the correct term but, lay them out with the darker pins in the center, then go light to the edges. Or along the same line design a heart with the darker ones in the center and lighter on the outside. It would be a very subtle design.

It will be a great valentine table runner or wallhanging.

Cute, cute prints. I'm sure you'll find something to do with them. A table runner sounds good. I'm into combining piecing and applique lately, and I think I would make a postage stamp center with appliqued borders.

you know, i think a simple 4 or 9 patch would be beautiful,with a nice crisp white or white on white fabric...

sometimes simple is better!

I love the colors. I recently ordered some this size also but I did it on purpoise. I am collecting enough to make a quilt from the, but do not want to cut all those. Anything you make with them will be great because the variety is wonderful.

I agree totally with Watterstide.......there are so many colorful colors and texture type patterns in them that the white or white on whites would make the quilt burst with beauty plus it would give the eyes a place to rest and enjoy all those beautiful pinks without being overwhelming. Sometimes we feel we have to do so much to a quilt when in reality the simplicity in them makes them stunning.

Make a quilt with the lay-out in the picture

love those fabrics...think I buy from same person :)

I like the pattern you have them in in this picture. I myself would level the edges and put on a thin darker pink edging and then a wider lighter patterned pink. This would be lovely as a little girl's quilt. You could make it as big as you want but small enough to be dragged around by that lucky kid!!
If life hands you lemons make lemon aid. And grate the lemon rinds and flavor cookies from them!!

Love the pinks!!! what about a scrappy wall hanging on baby quilt

Another vote for postage stamp alternating with white! I'm doing that now with some 4" charm packs I've had for years and never found a use for. I've quartered them and made it into my hand-piecing project for this year.

They're really pretty fabrics.

Some day, i am going to make "ticker tape" baby quilt..

isn't is cute?!

I just hung my heart quilt today! I like the idea of using them in hearts. Maybe one square and two half-circles cut from another square for each heart?

I love pink and think the 9P idea is a great one.

here's what I did with a whole bunch of 2" squares.
