In a different part of the boards, this was shared with me for a quick and easy donation quilt. I have a lot of collections of fabrics and quite a bit of those are 10" squares from my old swapping days so I'm always trying to think of ideas for those themed sets.

This is by Wilmingon and features their precuts which nicely match my swapped fabric size! Basically, 10", 5" and 2.5" strips.

I have thought of many ways to use this out of my stash. Like a navy blue solid with red/white/blue homespuns for the rectangles and a variety of star scraps for the squares. Or I have jungle animals, particularly jungle cats in those 10" squares just sized exactly for either of the square sizes plus a piece of cheetah type fur design yardage for the strips. If I need to, I have other jungle animals or jungle foliage.

The lush tropical idea is great but for your desert camo back, I'd be pulling out some dinosaurs for the other side fabrics. Sort of a play that the fossils are hiding under the dirt, but surprise! they are still in dinosaur form.

The other idea that hit me hard is the Labyrinth Walk design done in the same colors as the camo. But that's because I bought the pattern (I rarely buy patterns) and it's on my someday list.
