The question is now, what do I do with them? I have woolens, double knits, and psychedelic cottons from my teenage years. Does anybody have a suggestion as to what quilt pattern I might use? I want to make her some kind of memory quilt out of these scraps, but nothing seems to go with anything else. Please help. Thank you.
I'd vote for a crazy quilt. It's not conventional, but you could even use the double knits if they were favorite pieces of clothing back in the day!
