blue boxes

Another treasure from Nana's fabric stash. But not just matching blue boxes (incidentally, there are three more out in the garage).

 Matching blue boxes chock-full of color-sorted already-cut 2x2 inch squares.

Boxes and boxes of them. I can't begin to imagine how much time went into measuring and cutting these squares. 

Check this: the red and white 2x2 inch square is pieced. Those Depression-era quilters really learned to use every last bit. Makes me feel like a real spendthrift.

Nana really liked patterns with these teensy little pieces. Me not so much. But I did learn the nifty trick of quick piecing with fusible interfacing. Magic. I have a cool project to show off later!
