Quilts with rectangles

This tutorial is for the 3 quilts with blocks made up of 2 rectangles. I don't cut rectangles though. I piece strips together. Cut your strips any width you want.

In between making masks, I worked on this scrappy quilt using 2 1/2" squares. As those who follow me know, I do not enjoy making scrappy quilts and…
