Wow! That's a lot of quilts made since Sept. 16! They are all so wonderful. You have a creative mind and do beautiful work. If you need to find a good home for any of them, I'd be happy to provide mine!

Good question. I had about 4-5 gallons of squares. That is a lot of squares! Try getting a 5 gallon container and filling it with 2.5" blocks!

My favorites turned out to be the Two hearts in love quilt, the red stars in sashing 16 patch, two on-point 9 patches, and the black sashing 9 patch.

Your quilts are all beautiful and you've inspired me too! I think some if us (well me) are intimidated by what to do. What I've learned from your post is to JUST START. Make that first 16 patch. Then keep going and going. Soon you get new ideas on ways to sew them and by the time you get to five or ten or two you start telling yourself...what if I used some HST or put them on point or added stars in the sash. I hope I made sense. You've taught ME a great lesson! Thank you!

Wow! Amazing how boredom can bring out so much beauty! These are gorgeous! Especially the hearts one.

Thank-you for sharing your quilts, you have been a very busy camper! I enjoyed all of your creative and interesting uses for your squares. It is amazing how many quilts you made form your bag, kind of like the lady in the Bible that never ran out of oil.
