Default A shoe box full of 2 inch squares

Several years ago I participated in a 2 inch square exchange. I think I exchanged something like 300 squares. Well, they went into a shoe box and over the years I added to them. But everyone knows what happens when scraps are in a box on a shelf--right? Yep they multiply!! Soooo 3600 two inch squares later....

This finished at 90 inches square and I unfortunately still have about 100 squares left!! Goodness knows what they will have multiplied to in a couple of years :O) Thanks for looking.

Looks beautiful. I'd be going stir-crazy if I was putting all those together. Great quilt. I'd be keeping an eye on the remaining 100. They will be sure to multiply again.

​Lovely top! Use the last 100 squares in a pillow top, quick, before they multiply!
