Go to this link http://weddingdressblue.wordpress.com/tutorials/. She has some great quilts for small blocks. You can use MSQ and turn then into lots of 4 patches then use them in one of her quilts.

I inherited a large box of 4 inch squares a few weeks ago.
I have sewn some into a scrappy top about 66 by 58 and still have over half a box more. I don't want to just sew blocks together...kinda bored with that. I would like to have some suggestions of patterns or something creative to do with some of the rest of them. There are as few as a single square to some that have about 10 or 12 matching squares.

My sister took a bunch of 4" squares and sewed them into a 44x72" top but instead of a quilt she made a beautiful lined jacket out of it.. She used white flannel for the lining and a simple Simplicity pattern. It is adorable ...I loved it! She wouldn't let me have it...had the nerve to tell me to make my own!
Your sister sounds like mine!

Arkansas Crossroads. There's one version on Bonnie Hunter's site http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/...h-of-july.html with instructions, and you can use any combination of scrappy squares in this quilt as long as your 4 patches have light and dark contrast and you pick one unifying fabric for the larger squares (the ones that are white in the Quiltville version). Do a Google image search for Arkansas Crossroads quilts to see many examples.
