I've been searching for an easy summer hand stitching project and finally decided to try and tame my supply of 2.5" squares and make scrappy
Nine-Patch blocks.
Easy peasy, if you pay attention. Somehow I managed to fold this square back onto itself and stitch it down 😉.
Guess I was distracted by the view.
The squares seem to be multiplying in their storage container but surprisingly it's not always easy to find either four or five of the same print.
So I'm good with staying in the same colour family so that I don't end up cutting more squares. The idea is to use up as much of what's already cut. Works just fine....M

Cute thread holder in the first picture. You have found the perfect summer stitching project. I would be distracted by that view too. Gail at the cozy quilter
I too have a lot of 2.5" squares and the same problem... I might have 1 or 2 of the same print but never a full block. Or so it seems. Your pinks look so darn cute!
The very best thing to do with scrap 2.5-inch squares - 9-patches!! Love 'em!!
