Your quilt is a lot of work but it will be beautiful when finished.

I enjoy scrappy quilts with lots of fabrics, so I think your project is great!

You may want to peek into the Birthday Swap thread here on the Quilting Board for some ideas of other ways to use 2.5 inch squares. I have many a number of scrappy's using the squares like in your pictures. But now, I have stretched out. I'll attach two examples that I have done. Both are simple and they eat up those squares little quickly. I guess, if any one asked, these are my favorite cuts for quilts. So many options.

This scrapper loves your quilt and your white Featherweight. I have made several scrap quilts with 2 1/2” squares..some donated but not all. Lol

This is a wonderful collection of beautiful quilts to make with tiny squares of different sizes. I need to start cutting up my scraps.
