Our little group exchanges squares - some of the people actually do use them.

I did make an I Spy type quilt of squares I cut down to 9.75 inches (they were supposed to have been at least 10 x 10, but - - - - apparently not all rulers are created equal :? )

Most of mine are neatly stacked in boxes.

Occasionally I'll donate a few to someone.

I've still got my food squares. Every now and then I bring them out and drool over em. The perfect pattern has not come to me yet, but I'm sure it will!

Great for baby quilts, just simple patchwork with sashing.

I made this attic windows with a cats swap with friends from Europe and other parts of the world. It is a wall hanging. I love the NZ dogs and sheep (no cats) and the french cats

That is so neat! Looks 3-D!!

the corners are a half square triangle block -- Much easier than trying to mitre a corner. I made the window "sill" with a darling fabric of kitty tracks.

A girl in Denmark started the swap and I think there were 10 or so of us that signed up. I don't know what the others did with their squares.

I found a LQS that specialised in cat fabrics. Is it any surprise that she had at least 3 cats wandering around the shop??

Pretty fabrics.

Missouri Star Quilt Co has 5.5" strips of Farmers Market for their deal of the day. It's perfect to add to the food fabrics!

oops -- I just realised that I posted it upside down!!
