Sure, squares are interesting and easy. So, why not? If you are considering making a quilt, any one of these would be a great way to begin. How, you ask?
1. Start with a square of fabric and sew it to another square. Keep adding squares to form a row until you are satisfied that the row is long enough. Thirty inches is a good start, but you can certainly make it any length you want.
2. Make several rows. If you have a square quilt in mind (equal length and width) count the squares in the first row and make that many rows. 3. Now you're ready to begin stitching the rows together. Sew two rows together matching up the squares as you go.
4. Keep going till all the rows are in place. Really, it's that simple.
One of the great reasons to use simple squares is that you can use a different fabric for each square or just a few fabrics for the entire quilt.

I love squares. The patterns can be unlimited. The quilts you have posted are all beautiful.
I love the navy, gray and white square quilt with the teal binding (first one on the ladder. What size squares did you use and did you use Kona fabric for that one? Thanks!
I love the first quilt pictured on this blog post -- the one hanging on a hanger? Do you have another picture of it unfolded? It almost looks like the squares are laid out to look like flowers, but I wasn't sure. Any other info you can give on that one?
Quilts that appear on Sunday Quilt Inspiration are not my quilts. They are from my Pinterest board, "Heart, Quilts." You can visit my board and follow the link back to the original owner of the photo. I wish I could help you more.
