Sunday Quilt Inspiration: Easy Squares

Way back in 2013, when I started this series, I wrote about making quilts from simple squares. You can find that very popular post here. But it's been a while and I've discovered many more quilts made of squares, so I thought it would be nice to revisit the idea. I won't go through the directions of how to make a quilt like this; you can easily go back and read that.

Instead, I thought I'd give you a few reasons for making a quilt using one square blocks. 

1. they are easy to sew together
2. you can use coordinating fabrics 
3. you can burn through a pile of scraps
4. no difficult circles to sew 
5. matching corners is relatively easy
6. any edge can be the top (so you can choose your favorite)
7. any size block will work (so big blocks make for a fast quilt)
8. using blocks of different colors, you can create a design (without difficult blocks)
9. it's easy to move up to other shapes (rectangles and triangles are easy next steps)
10. it's easy to move to two- and three-square blocks
