    MacyBaby, do you have a name for the snowflake pattern?. I know I have seen it before, maybe even from you in the past. But new folks and short memories need to know.

    The themed 36 patch is a terrific way to use up 2.5's. I may steal that one ASAP. Like I need to stat another project! Tee-Hee-Hee! Can I justify another start by saying I can work on it one block here another block there? I can sort little squares when I sit and watch Christmas movies. Oh, what fun to play with blocks soon! A good pattern/style for donation quilts. Thanks!

    I am thinking seriously about making just a big postage stamp quilt with all neutrals. I think it would be cool! And unique!

    Sewbiz, I saw a pattern that was essentially a nine patch but the center was a color. It was simple but striking. It would use up far more of the low volume that you have. I tried to find a picture of it but couldn’t find it. Looking forward to seeing what you will make :-) hugs!

    Thanks that does sound interesting, Reba. If you come across it again, please share.

    here are two photos. The first is similar, the second is the one I found on the weekend quilter website. I think she posted this on insta a while back I *thought* I snapped a photo but then couldn’t find it. I love it. Hugs!

    Lovely neutrals with a pop, Reba! Of my stash, I would say neutrals are the one general color way that I have the least selection. I use them up in my postage stamp style quilts with the 2.5s.. Your two pieces are an inspiration to keep scanning the give away table at quilt group and look for someone else's scraps neutrals. Tee-Hee-Hee!
