That is a great idea! At my quilting group(in Bonita)we do a block of the month, chosen by one lady, during the "season". So I make one and then keep one for myself. That way I remember the block, the technique, and can use it later in the type of quilt you are talking about. So each year I have three blocks made for my future quilt. The other block is given to the group for a drawing within the group and the lucky winner will have several blocks to make into her quilt made by all of us.
