Thanks everyone for all the links and pictures! This is giving me more than enough ideas for how to use these squares. My boyfriend thought Lori Holt's Irish chain posted by Janice was beautiful and he even said "I'll cut the 1.5 inch squares for you!" (No, he won't.) I told him to calm down. 2.5 is crazy small enough -- I think 1.5 would drive me right over the edge. I'm with you Janice, trying to get the bulk of cutting done early, and don't know how many 3-day weekends are in my future. I think I have about 500 done. Cutting and sorting squares has been a nice break from real life which unfortunately starts again tomorrow.
