The 1600 quilts use 2 1/2 inch strips sewn together. You could change the size to be 1 1/2 inch so that each would finish at 1 inch, so 52 would only be 52 inches long. This would be fun, because you could use the strips in the same order that she is using them. Even more fun, would be to print several of the month's pic on fabric and include them in the quilt. Or just a first pic and then one at a year and then surround them with the strips. This is such a great opportunity for both of you to document the first year. It will be neat if she includes fabrics for the holidays or seasons of the year so that you get a real timeline feel with the quilt.
Or, what if you use the strips to make log cabin blocks with her pics as the centers. You may have to add a neutral to make everything flow.
I am laughing at myself, because I can think up some of the most fun projects to add to my hundred or so that I already have to quilt. Please show us your progress as you get going.
