I liked your Stash Manicure blog. I am doing something similar myself but using 1.5 inch squares. It's fun seeing it come together. Cute give away prizes.

Terry said...

I just read your post as Stash Manicure and then followed you to your blog! I really do need to start using enders like that. Thanks for the reminder! And thanks for the giveaway! :0)

Nanette Merrill said...

You're post was so cute. I loved it. I really need to do what you suggest!

Quilter Kathy said...

I enjoyed your post on stash manicure and love how organized you are...I want to be like that some day!

Diane said...

Good posting job on Stash Manicure!
I've recently started sewing squares together like this and in the last month had enought to put together a twin size top! It's like a 2 for 1 deal at the grocery store!
Your towel and pot holder are adorable and another great idea!

Carolina said...

Whew! You have more patience than I do... 2" squares are just so SMALL to work with... although your results are stunning!

The smallest I've go so far is 3" squares and 2" strips (for log cabins).

Brenda said...

good idea with the 2inch squares. I'd love to win your potholder and tea towel.

sandra said...

I just loved the way you ended up with two" squares. Excellent idea I will keep in mind because I do started and end with fabric.

Kathy Wheeler said...

WOW. What an organized space. I am inspired. Maybe mine will look like that one day. Piece and Love to U girlfriend. from a reader of blogs...not a blogger wheels@mvdsl.com

Nancy said...

What a nice surprise. I loved seeing your stash and love the 2" square idea.

Jenny said...

love your patchwork!

Char said...

Thank you for the ideas. I have a box full of leaders and enders and never thought to make potholders.

KaHolly said...

The quilt on my own bed was made with leaders and enders, and so were many smaller projects. What a perfect post for you to share on Stash Manicure! Drop by - I'm having a little give-away, too! ~karen

Sherry said...

HI I was just ae Stash Manicure and I loved your idea. I'm going to have to make alot of these for our chruch bazar. Do you have tips for doing them.

Carol said...

Cute pot holder and dish towel and such a great idea to use 2" squares as leaders and enders. I haven't been using leaders and enders but I think I will start and use your idea. Thanks!

Unknown said...

I enjoyed your post on Stash Manicure which brought me to your blog. I love the ideas about the 2inch squares. I am so going to do this. I have all these squares I cut for Scrap Therapy quilts but don't seem to have the time to go to the workshops every month. I love the projects you did with yours. Thanks!

annieb said...

What a great idea! I will do this with strips as I have a log cabin quilt in mind.

Janet said...

Nice little surprise! I like your use of the 2 inch blocks.

Reenie said...

Just read your post on Stash Manicure. I'm not as organized as you are. We just put the whole pile of cut-into fabric into plastic boxes sorted by color. Good ideas. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

Cindy said...

Just your idea alone to use 2" squares, rst, as leaders and enders is a great idea...but I also am liking the idea of how you end up using those leaders and enders by making quickie potholders and embellishments for towels. I plan on using this idea SOON!!! Thank-you.

Christine M said...

I've just read your blog on Stash Manicure. How organised you are! Thanks for the great giveaway. Cheers, Christine

Laura said...

I love this idea. Now all I need to do is start cutting!

Deanna said...

Love the (future) quilt. Looks like you are heading in the right direction. I would really enjoy a pot holder and dishtowel. They would add a much needed quilty touch to my day. Thanks.

Danielle said...

I have five big boxes of fabric stuffed, rolled, and smashed together. I really need to get it out and start cutting it! Thanks for the inspiration!

Sandie @ crazy'boutquilts said...

I love the idea of using the enders as a towel decoration! Thanks! :-)

Vicki said...

Cute! I'd love to win.

Aleisha said...

Thanks for the idea. I have bags of scraps, but haven't cut them into squares. It sure would make my sewing room alot more organized.

Thanks for the chance to win the cute potholder and towel.

twodraftmom said...

Love the enders idea. Especially your cute towel and small bags! .. And the cat is precious! Claire.

pajtr said...

Wonderful ideas! (and inspiration for organization!)
I liked your Stash Manicure blog, so I followed you to your own blog... which I greatly enjoyed!
Dawn, your Mother's quilt for your sister, that you completed for her, is so *beautiful*... So much love in those threads and fabrics... Just what quilts are all about!
I've bookmarked your blog.. I want to visit again!
Blessings!!!

Quilts and Cats said...

I would have never thought to use the squares as enders while working on another project. Sets of squares would start building up pretty rapidly that way! Love the potholder and towel...they would look lovely in my kitchen!

Linda said...

Thanks for your contribution to the endless supply of quilting wisdom at Stash Manicure!

cvdnurse said...

Love those leaders and Enders. Wouldn't an Irish Chain Quilt be so beautiful made out of those little 2 inch squares!

Saska said...

Cute idea for a potholder. I'm piecing 1 1/2" squares/strips but they don't seem to disappear!

Shannon said...

Thank you for your wonderful ideas. I love the potholder and towel. I think that will be my next years Graduation gifts.

Sherri said...

Fun to see you posting! Great ideas over at Stash Manicure! Cute potholder and towel too!

Heather @ The Beating Hearth said...

Thanks for the giveaway!! Love your work!

Colleen said...

About 4 years ago I joined Keepsake Quilting and they sent me 2 small boxes of 2" squares. They were samples of their materials that they carry. I have never done anything with them...until yesterday. I am ironing them on a gridded piece of very light interfacing and then sewing them horizontally and vertically to make a wall hanging. It's so much fun...I don't know why I didn't do it sooner :)

Love your blog. Thanks for the giveaway.
