SEEEWWWWW - anyone already have plans for their squares? What are you going to make with yours? I'm still working on my cotton "I Spy" exchange quilt.

Looking for ideas other than a rag quilt.

I think I am going to cut circles to be the back, and use the squares as the center of a cathedral window pattern.

OK, I am quoting myself. I finally got mine today and would you look at the envelope?! It was wrinkled and dirty and crushed, but my little lovlies inside were fine! Still in their little ziplocks and they don't even need therapey

That sounds like a neat idea. What size would you be cutting your circles? Are you going to make your circles all the same color?

Always quilting

Got mine today. My 2 yr old grandson & I had a great time going thru them.

Best I can tell (and I have not cut one yet) the circle would have a diameter of 7 1/8", finished size. (I don't know if anyone else still does this, but I found the right size object to take in all 4 corners and drew around it. Sorry, no ruler available here. Perhaps a little crude as to method, but it works.) Because I will be putting these together for a child, I won't use all the same color circle. I need to find a few more fun colors, though, before I really get into this.

Thanks for the info. Please keep us up to date as you make this. Would love to see pics. I use saucers, plates, lids and whatever else I can find that fits my need when I have to make curves. Doing what works :thumbup:

I got home from vacation yesterday and my squares were waiting for me!! Im so excited! And isn't it amazing - all those squares and only a few duplicates!!

Thank you sdparent for hosting this swap.
