    I made some table toppers out of 1 1/2 inch squares. You could ask on here, years ago keepsake quilting used to give 1 1/2 inch sample squares when you joined there gold club. I have seen them for sale on here. I did 3 table toppers out of the prints and I still have the solids I'm going to do a few more with. Can't tell you how many came in them but it would add to your collection. Great job!

    My orignal goal was to make two quilts with no repeating squares. Well.... I have come to realize that making a quilt using 1.5" squares is crazy enough but to make sure there are no repeats would be pretty much impossible. So... when I cut my own fabrics I put two of each square in my "collection" but when I get them from swaps I just throw all of the in and dont worry if there are repeats. Then when I sew them together I just reach in and grab and sew them into little 4 patches for now. Im 42 years old..... if I get two done before I die I will be impressed. lol

    I have swapped with many people on here and gotten alot of the squares. Everybody on here is amazing I still have a few swaps with individual people in the works. If anybody is interested in swapping 1.5" squares or scraps I would still love to swap more. I can send fq's or different size squares if you don't want 1.5" squares.
