I did one last year for the niece, IF I find the pic I will post it, I picked up fabric here and there and did a rag type quilt but did the pieces varied lengths, some were 24, som 18, others 9...however what you want would work out. She loved it and everyone at College wanted one too. It actually "brought" out the different intruments in a new light because of ragging it. Although I personally hate Wal Mart fabric, I did see some there and many quilt shops I have shopped in carry it. I got a lot online during the bunny hops..can't look and not buy!!!!!:)
