I have in the past done a number of quilts with 2 1/2 inch blocks. Over the past 2 weeks in the little bit of time I have had between every thing else going on I have been going through the scrap bin and cutting all the little pieces into 2 1/2 inc squares.
I have not yet decided exactly what I will make with them but i have a few thousand squares cut and I have more that will be cut in the next few weeks. I am debating on doing more of the 5 x 5 color blocks or just a random color block and doing a full quilt that way only time will tell.
My true desire of the day is just to feel energized and not feel so tired. I have emotionally gone over board the last 2 weeks and I just need to sit down and do nothing for a few days and get caught back up with life. I so need this vacation.

Not going to hurt to take it easy for a bit Richard....Can't do everything all of the time.
I was going to suggest take a family day or self day. Go to a park or museum or tourist attaction or sit in a library and read a book. Time to go slow.
You definitely need a day where you just let the day happen. No schedule or planning. Just be.
Your quilts are gorgeous.
As for the ghastlies? The images on that fabric are so fun they demand all the attention. I'd say make a double sided quilt, with images on both sides.
9 patches alternated with either solid squares or half square triangles would be great to use up all those 2.5" squares. They also make a great strip border in a border to finish a quilt.
I'm lucky I have a vacation coming up next week. I've been looking forward to it. Although, I'm home sick today with a bad cold!!!! :( Thanks for sharing as usual :)
I really like your first little quilt! Do take care of yourself!! Thanks for linking up to wip Wednesday this week where I've enjoyed guest-hosting!
I suggest visiting Deanna's Tutorials. She has several wonderful quilt designs to use up hundreds and hundreds of small squares! Film at Five is the latest, and I like it a lot, though I'm on my second Fading Charms one. =)
