Scrappy blocks for a scrappy quilt

I love making scrappy quilts.  The idea of using up little pieces of fabric always makes me happy.  Basically, I get a quilt top for nothing.  

The little blocks are 1.5" squares.  The bigger ones are made of 2.5" squares.  All used as leaders and enders. I'll border the tiny blocks so that they are the same size as the bigger ones.

Remember this?  I'm pulling my 1.5" pieces from this box.  I keep adding to that box.  I'll probably never use all of this stuff up, but who cares?  It's just fun to play with them.

Here are some more finished blocks. Yes, they need to be trimmed,but I don't do that.  I just sew the fool things together and it all works out at the end.

Little itty-bitty squares

 I'm happily cutting out 1.5" squares from fabric scraps.  Can't tell you why I like doing this, but I do.

My plans are to do a scrappy quilt using both 1.5" and 2.5" squares and some strips.  Pattern is by Lori Holt, and it's calling me.  Checkerboard Chain quilt. 

It's amazing how many teensy squares you can get from stuff that you'd toss.
