Good day and welcome to my blog.
Despite my full time job, I have been able to get into my quilt room this week, and have moved the Clean Up project forward.
It is a pattern by Quilted Twins, and you can find it HERE. It uses lots and lots of 2 inch squares of fabric!
Previously I blogged about building the big blocks of 10 by 10 squares. Now I am putting them together:
Three blocks with sashing of more little squares of fabric. I now have 6 blocks done, and here is my current situation:
There will be vertical sashing between the columns of more small squares, to be sewn together and inserted. The pattern calls for for 4 by 4 blocks and border for a finished size of 95 inches square. I think mine will be a little narrower.
And my box of 2 inch strips and 2 inch squares is not noticeably depleted.

that is an uber stash buster indeed...it does take a while before noticing a decline in scraps i've found so don't give up!
I remember making a multi-square pattern and having to cut more!
I swear scrap boxes and boxes of like cut squares breed when you look away!
What a beautiful way to use up small scrap squares! Love this. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

I've been wondering if I should get rid of my smaller scraps or cut them to 5 inch and 2 1/2 inch squares. I really like how your quilt looks with the little squares. I think that once I get the Christmas gifts done, I will start doing the cutting.
I’ve done a quilt, Growing Up Odd by Wedding Dress Blue. It used 2” squares and solid sashing. It took me forever ! Well, it felt like forever! 😄
I too have made a Growing up Odd quilt. I guess I like small squares.
That looks so great - and a great way to use all your cool pieces!
