I got some very pretty and bright calico pieces at a yard sale for $3.00. Most pieces are fat quarter size, some much larger. Lots of reds, blues and yellows, also oranges and greens.

Any ideas for a quilt? I have made simple quilts, nothing fancy or elaborate yet.

Do the fabrics play nice with each other? Maybe you could do a turning twenty or Yellow Brick Road quilt. A D9P maybe?

I think a simple 9 patch would be very nice with a white background fabric.
