I started sewing 2.5" squares together late last year. Late as in probably in the week between Christmas and the new year. Then in January I had enough sewn together that I made blocks and assembled a quilt top. In February I finally quilted it and finished it up using leftover yardage and batting from other projects. I love that it is 100% completely made from scraps.
Scrappy quilts are my favorite.

What a wonderful quilt!! it is just lovely and a great picture! Take care from Iowa
I love how the open spaces give the scrappy parts some movement and make them stand out.
Oh, this is so much fun! I may have to "borrow" your idea. I have lots of scraps that I could use. :)

I love it! Love the way the quilt is framed by a border of 2.5" scraps too!
it's beautiful and vibrant. and reminds me that my scraps are calling to me as well!
Wonderful! What a lovely quilt, all the little pieces seem to work so well together! Thanks for the inspiration, I have a sizable collection of 2.5" squares that need to be used!
Thanks Megan!
This is a great scrap buster and want to see yours if you make one!
The way I made the blocks made the border instantly exist!
Scrappy = best!!!
2.5"squares are one of my favorite things to work with!
Beautiful. I just love scrap quilts and your colors are beautiful together. I have a lot of 2.5" squares cut because I was going to make an Irish chain quilt someday, but I kinda like your idea better now that I see it. What size are the solid squares if I can ask.
