When they are all all done, I may post again with the binding, etc. I got three of them ready to quilt today--they are sandwiched. I want to get one FMQ tomorrow...may tackle one of the smaller ones, but I did sandwich the black- sashed 9 patch which is one of my favorites--I may start with that one.

Wow you have been a busy girl. I use the corners I cut off flying geese to use as start blocks when I am piecing. I am getting a pretty good bunch of half square triangles from them. Maybe I had better do what you did and start using them up. Just haven't found the right pattern yet.

I'll use most of them for charity quilts, probably....the "special" ones, for my kids or special friends.

I come to "borrow" my dd's computer, so don't have time to read to the end, but I just have to say, if you meant September, as in three months ago, I say like WOW! did you do any eating or sleeping at all?
What a fantastic amount of quiltmaking and so much variety.
You, lol, put my to shame...tee hee hee, 'cept I have no shame :D

Wow, I love them all. It is amazing how much you can do with 2.5" squares. they are such humble little things but can be made into so many different beautiful squares

Fantastic! It's perfect timing for me to read your post. I have been going thru my left over fabric and pieces trying to figure out what to do with it all. Then I saw your post this morning and I am so inspired! Thanks for sharing and you did a wonderful job using up your scraps.
