Default 2.5" squares and strips
This is a perfect example of how my scrap quilt generates more scraps! The box of 2.5" squares gave me all the little blocks I needed but when I went into the box of 2.5" strips, finding a long enough piece to get the four 6.5" strips, I naturally still had another strip to put back in the box. And when I went into the uncut box of scrap, I still got more scrap after I cut the 4 pieces out of irregularly shaped pieces! I know my scraps will outlive me!

What a sweet quilt. Is it the MSQC keyhold pattern?

Great use of scraps and yes, using scraps always creates more scraps.

Very nice. Those scraps are kind of like the "never ending pot of soup!"
