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.

I'd plan a log cabin around the strips.

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.
