Ideas, please, for 5"xWOF strips
I got a Secret Sister gift from the Fat Quarter Shop - a bundle of 27 strips of 5"xWOF fabric.
While the obvious thing might be to cut each strip into (two) 2 1/2" strips, or into 5" (nickle) squares:
DOES ANYONE HAVE SOME IDEAS OR LEADS TO FREE PATTERNS?
There are patterns for jelly rolls, turnovers, etc. - are there books for this precut?
I am soooo overthinking this and find myself mentally log-jammed ....
Thanks!

1 - you could do a jelly roll race (1600") type quilt.
2- check out ModaBakeShop.com - these cuts are called Dessert Rolls. Check under Bakery to see this cut, they have a link to patterns using that size.
3- be sure to show us what you do! Good luck.

oh, looked at the ModaBakeShop patterns, not much for that size - sorry
but, then reading some more thread here on QB, wandered over to Quilters World magazine site. Check out the current issue page, under creative pieces, running stripes - that would be a simple thing to do with your pieces - don't really even need the pattern. sort of like a stacked coins

3 DUDES QUILTING has a free pattern called Majestic Mountains. They use 2 1/2" strips, but you can use any size you want and end up with bigger blocks. Also Missouri Star Quilt Shop (Jenny Doan) also used 3 Dudes Quilt pattern making her's bigger. Your ending squares will be larger, but who cares. It is a really cool pattern.
