If you haven't yet done so, check out Barb's Birthday Candy swap on the QB. We exchange 2 1/2 inch squares and there are lots of posts of ideas over there if you scroll through. Also, tons of ideas on pinterest.

I am eager to see your finish for ideas of how to use these squares!

Love the flags; I look forward to seeing it finished. How long have you had the blocks? How do you plan to quilt it?

Wonderful snowman project Mtnmama.
I managed to piece 80 blocks of my Nautical UFO quilt over the weekend. It is a throw size and didn't call for a border so I may just put it in a sandwich just as it is...[ATTACH=CONFIG]565925[/ATTACH]

So fun seeing and hearing about all the ufo completions. Kristijoy..(pg 18 post # 171) Wow! What a roll you are on. I will never know what an empty shelf looks like. Belfrybat, (pg 18 post # 178) Really looking forward to your quilting spree. PatriceJ (pg 19 post # 184) your first finish is wonderful. I like that pattern and it looks like it would be a great one for me to use to showcase some of my cat fabrics (in the squares). Your 2nd finish is superb, also! Mtnmama1955, I love your snowman bookmark. Like you said, even if it is little it is finished. I am going to keep trying to make time to check in on here. I have missed all of you!

All done with Patchwork Party 2013!
These pre-cut blocks were collected in 2013. I made a few and let them sit, made a few more, and let them sit some more. Gotta love the aging process. I finished all of them mid '15, but hated the finishing kit that I had purchased = more sitting. I finally settled on this setting, found a block design for the middle and designed borders around the center; which required more sitting to figure out how and to be brave enough to conquer them. Months passed by, like many of my UFOs. I finally put it all together last year and shipped it off immediately to Charisma for custom quilting. More months...and finally at 1am today, I finished the binding. Whew and woo hoo!
