    What would be your best idea for using four coordinating FQs?

    Looking for simple projects, if possible.

    Thanks!

    Exactly where I went ... and I'll add another, 3D Pinwheels

    A four rail, rail fence quilt?
    Any Stars
    Churn Dash
    .......... we can go on and on!

    Do the coordinates speak of a specific style?
    Show them to us!!! :)

    How about a nine patch alternated with squares? Super easy to cut and sew in strips.

    If you alternated the nine patch with HST's, you could end up with a friendship star. Still for a beginners, but adds some practice for making HST's.

    If you're looking for non-quilting projects, how about iPhone/camera cases, book covers, one of those hanging bags you use to store the plastic bags from the grocery store? A casserole carrier?

    I Like Ohio star with the center being square in square, or just square in a square, in a square.. , you can do log a cabin adding nuetral to one side.
    Rail fence with four fabrics is really easy and really fast.
