I have the best blog readers…I know I say that all the time but it is totally true. Â Recently in a stash report I told you all about how a friend of mine stopped over and gave me these.
I was not sure what to do with them and asked for ideas.
I was honestly at a loss of what to do with them all.
A blog reader suggested I take a look at the free quilt patterns at Wedding Dress Blue (find the link here)  There are lots of patterns there and several that would work.  Here are a couple…what do you think? This is growing up odd….(photos courtesy of Wedding Dress Blue)
This is Film at Five….
I think this one is my favorite…
Honestly, I love them all!! Â There are a couple others there that would work too. Â There are lots of other wonderful free pattern there are well worth checking out. Â Here’s the link again if you missed it.
I was also told about a pdf that Bonnie Hunter has available for her free patterns.  Find it HERE. It is a chart for all of her free patterns that shows the sizes of strips or squares needed for a project.  That was handy to check out.
Then I was told about this link to make a Scrappy Cheddar Squares quilt.  (Photo courtesy of Tattered Garden)
Ronda a regular blog reader sent me a couple picture of quilts she had made using small scraps….
I like them both!!
Then I was told about this site that I am extremely excited about…EXTREMELY!! Â Quilted Twins is now my new favorite free pattern site!! Â Find them here. Â Once there go to the free pattern section. Â It’s such a treat!! Â Photos courtesy of Quilted Twins.
Check out this one…
I love this…it doesn’t use 2″ square though.
You might remember me saying that many of my favorite quilts to sew start with sewing, not cutting. Â Becky has MANY of them. Â She’s also a gal that does LOTS of charity quilt work. Â She sounds like a kindred spirit to me!! Â I know for sure I will be sewing several of these quilts…best yet, the patterns are free…except for the cost of an ink cartridge…(Yep, I’m burning through one quickly)
There are MANY-MANY-MANY free patterns at the Quilted Twins. Â Check them out…you’ll likely be in awe like I was!!
Thanks so much readers. Â I really appreciate all the links and advice!!
Jo, I think which ever pattern you chose, the quilt will be beautiful!
Now you’ve done it, Jo! Time to cut more 2-inch squares! I’ve already seen a couple I want to do.
I LOVE QUILTED TWINS!!!!! I have several quilts that I am cutting right now from her patterns!!!
Thanks for sending all these links ! Now I won’t get anything else done this morning! Lol!
I’ve got the links bookmarked. Thanks for the information.
I have made several of the quilts from Wedding Dress Blue including the Film at Five. I also did the last quilt that you showed with the strips sewn like diamonds. That was a BEAR to sew! I actually made a chart with the lights and darks,then assembled. Have fun. It’s interesting that we seem to enjoy others scraps rather than our own. Maybe because they are already cut? Anyway- enjoy!
Thanks for sharing the link! I may have to make Growing Up Odd.
Oh my I have to go and check them all out, thanks for sharing the sites. I cant wait to see what you decide to make with all those squares.
I have made Growing up Odd from Wedding Dress Blue. It is one of my most favorite quilts. Thank you for sharing Quilted Twins site (I think) I went down that rabbit hole this morning and like you I need more printer ink. I so love 2inch squares !!! Thank you for all your inspiration.
Thank you! I love scrappy quilts too and I have soooooo much fabric.
First a quilt to finish and then….
Thanks for the links to some more great patterns and designers! I think I’ve just become ‘re-addicted’ to scraps!!!
I’m making Growing Up Odd. I love the reason for the quilt name. I saw a picture of it and just had to make it. I have made all the squares and am ready to them together! It’s getting closer to the finish line. Beware! This quilt is pushy! Once I saw the picture of the quilt, it just pushed all my other quilts out of the way and put itself at the top of the list!
