    I have 102 gingham strips in pink, blue, yellow, red and a light brown that measure 3 1/2" X 16" . I got these from a thrift store awhile back and ran across them today while getting some things organized. Anyone know of a fast quilt pattern to use with these? Any suggestions appreciated.

    decide what is light and what is dark and start in on a log cabin.

    alternate them with white muslin of the same width. Then play with the color arrangement.

    or make 4-patches and add an alternating fabric.

    I have a special fondness for gingham and was just talking about doing a pinwheel quilt with white and various ginghams.

    rain fence. sew 3 strips together and cut a square for rail fence. two together and cut squares and alternate.

    Any book that uses jelly rolls, will just be larger.

    I've done a really pretty strip pieced quilt that I did by sewing several strips together then cutting the group into squares and then triangles. I then made pinwheel type blocks with the triangles. I used a neutral sashing.
