    I am looking for ideas to use 5" squares that are a fun print. I want the square to be the accent of the quilt so I don't want to cut them smaller. I would be willing to add other fabrics, sashing, etc.

    I am working on one right now and will post instructions and pictures later.

    Thanks for any help. Barb

    Here is a quilt I have been thinking of making out of 5" squares. It is on the cover of this book:

    The disappearing nine patch would be good if you put the fabrics that you dont want cut in the corners.
