You can also use them for binding. The binding doesn't have to be all the same fabric, and scrappy binding can look very cool, depending on the center of the quilt.

Hidden wells is made with strips, looks hard but really isn't

I'm making a Pineapple Blossom quilt with some of mine. I got the pattern from Bonnie Hunter from her www.quiltville.com web sight. She has lots of scrappy quilts that use 2 1/2" strips.

I have done two quilts now that were the hidden wells pattern. I will see if I can post the one i did with a jelly roll. depending on how many repeats you have of the strips will make the top look different. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...t-t174943.html this used one jelly roll but if you have two or three of the same or similar colors it would look and be better. hope this helps.

This website has some great patterns that you might be able to use with the 2.5 in strips.
