wow ... thought I had a lot, lol. Makes for some nice quilts though...simple 9 patch....or use them to make a very nice backing...some of the prettiest quilts I've seen have used scraps, leftovers and squares for the backing!

I had to chuckle regarding squares when I saw this title. I just purchased the from Sizzix and AccuCut every imagineable square size die each had to have to use in my Big Shot Pro Westminster Edition and got both packages in yesterday.
I already had the 2.5" and the 6.5" one but wanted larger size square dies like so I bought the 10", 8", 4.5, 5, 9 and some retangular ones. I also went ahead and bought the 6,8 and 10 inch cicle dies to use in projects later on.
I have no knowledge of all these block types out there and prefer to just design on the go and see what comes of it.
Just as what you have hear with all the fabrics I've purchased in the last few months I started yesterday cutting some of each size and making piles of them.
I am not however just cutting to cut but am matching up colors and fabrics for each project I'm designing. I also like to do applique so of course not all my fabric will be cut into squares, retangles, circles but also will start cutting some applique's for dies I already have and also my Cricut Expression machine using all those carts to cut appliques with.
You do have alot of squares there and just seeing what you have my mind is going wild thinking of ways to use them.
If you are into sewing besides quilting you could conceiveable use several of them for crafty type projects like tote bags, pot holders, and other such projects or even use some for applique if the size is right to cut them down to.
