25-patch, 2.5" squares
 
1 Attachment(s)
I started cutting 2-1/2" squares when I didn't have a big enough piece for 3-1/2 or 4-1/2, and decided to use some of them. I love a 25-patch made with little squares.

Thanks for looking.

Very pretty! I am currently making a series of 25-patch blocks with 1.5" squares.

Great job! Wish we lived closer... you could cut at least a million squares in my little room!

I didn't know what a 25 patch was until I got to counting the patches to figure out the pattern. You are doing a great job. I have been cutting scraps down to squares and strips. I start with 4 1/2 inch blocks and work my way down to 2 inch blocks. Nothing smaller for me. Thanks for sharing. It gives me inspiration what to do with the blocks I am cutting.

Lovely quilt... a new take on Irish Chain.

These types of quilts amaze me with all the little pieces. Do you changes the stitch size on your machine?
This must also change the end size of the square also,to be only 2 inches by the time your finished. Will have to try this with all my little scraps when I go through my bag of scraps, lol������

OH great job by the way.

I should make one of these sooner rather than later.

JanieH 08-07-2016 11:46 AM

Great quilt and great idea.

paintmejudy 08-07-2016 12:32 PM

Jan called it a new take on Irish Chain. Someone PMed me saying I made a mistake while making an Irish Chain quilt.

Nope, no mistake. I was going to snowball the corners of the plain block, but no size looked like it "fit" so just added the 4 blocks in the middle. But yes, when I got it done, it reminded me of an Irish Chain!

That is a very apt statement, me too.
