I had my 4H girls each do a 9 patch then sew them together for a donation quilt. They did fine with that. We also did one, I don't remember the name, a rectangle maybe 2.5 x 6.5 sewed onto a 6.5 sq. These are sewn into vertical strips. These are then laid every other direction. We only used 2 colors but I have seen all the squares 1 color and all the rectangle scrappy. Clear as mud? Sorry.
