Making quilts, Using squares

 When I make a quilt, I save the smallish fabric pieces and cut them into 2" of 2 1/2" squares.  After awhile I have a box full.  I can sew them together like this into 9-patch blocks which are fun and easy to make.  I get stacks and stacks of the blocks.



 After awhile, I have to face it, I have to make the blocks into quilts.  These will go for newborns at church, mostly blue for boys, mostly pink for the girls and a scrappy one I'm making for a friend in  NJ who told me she's worn out the one I made for her 15 years ago.  This is the product of a bunch of the blocks I've made.
