I have one box for civil war snipets and another for 30s and pastel. The pastel quilt is 3" squares and you start with a strip of white diagonaly o a 3" square of muslin or other scrap fabric, and then add any size strips diagonaly. When you alternate block position it makes a trellis shape. Then I've been stitching them in groups of 16 (4x4). I should take a pic and post. I know I got it from some web page years ago. Makes a thick piece so I may only put a backing on it, no batting and use for end of bed throw.
