I need help in making a decision for a quilt I need to get done in 2 months. I brought 2 packages of 16" MODA Summer Breeze quilt squares. My favorite quilting block is the Log Cabin. I've mostly have made baby quilts, one full size quilt and oversize lap quilts. This quilt might come out to be a queen size quilt. DH all ready thinks I spent to much for the material. So I'm trying to use the squares that I have. I thought about just sewing the 16" squares together but after I laying it out it don't I really don't want to that. So any ideas or help will be greatly welcomed. This quilt is for my Oncolgist's their leaving in Sept. Also I'm NaNa with a Nana's Sewing Room.

How about a disappearing nine patch? If 16" squares are too big to start with, cut them into quarters, and then do the d9p. It is fast, easy, fun, and looks like you spent a lot of time on it.
