sewingsuz - I also have Christmas fabric that I want to use. I'm thinking of sewing my Christmas 2 1/2" squares together (scrappy) and then cutting different Christmas shapes (trees, bells, stars, etc) out of solid colors and then randomly appliqué them onto the top of the quilt.

I would make table runners and placemats. I like to keep the runners and placemats on my dining room table during the Christmas season

How about a triple or double Irish Chain, they make gorgeous quilts.

I would probably do some kind of star pattern. Or even use them for geese's with stars randomly. I like scrappy

I saw a scrappy triple Irish chain with a light background recently that would look wonderful in your Christmas fabric.

I think the suggestion of Irish Chain would be pretty.

I'm hooked on Mondo Bags, they use 192 squares. It's been a great stash buster. You could make Christmas gifts.

Quiltville 'Fourth of July' used a lot of 2 1/2" squares with a [ATTACH=CONFIG]572729[/ATTACH]background fabric and two other colors(these could be scrappy, too, as long as you choose darker squares. Google Quiltville Fourth of July and look at the blue one). You could use more by making them part of the border, too.

there is a Birthday swap group on this site. Go to that and look at some of the work the participants have done. Good examples this year and last year too. Arkansas crossroads is one idea and a site named Wedding Dress Blue also has LOTs of ideas for 2.5 inch squares.

I made several with 9 patch blocks with same size large print squares. Raggedy Ann & Andy decorating the tree, Santas, etc...super fast and easy.
