I have been sewing forever but am new to quilting. The fabric I recently purchased included a lot of 5 inch squares sorted by colors: blues, reds, greens, and yellows, oranges, & browns. What would be a beginner's quilt that could use some or all of these different squares? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

I make tote bags out of these. They sew together very nicely.

Nine patch.. disappearing nine patch, four patch. Rag quilts

If there is enough of each color you can do a 9 patch. You need 5 of one color and 4 of another for each 9 patch block. Do a search for 9 patch, you will find many pretty quilts done this way.

Most of the block are "one and onlys" with a few that have two of a kind. Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming!

Scrappy patch :wink: LOL
|
Scrappy single Irish Chain !! can even snowball the full solid blocks so they round into each other.
Good Luck and Have Fun !!! :) |
I have been using mine to make blocks for th Farmer's Wife quilt.
SOmetimes I need two squares of the same fabric so it can be interesting. Here's a link for a great way to use them. http://www.hgtv.com/video/super-fast...deo/index.html |

I had a whole bunch of squares like that and I just counted how many I had then figured out how many rows I coud have,by how many in a row.then just started sewing thwm together in rows,mixed up so hopefully no same colors together.then put the rows together then add a couple of borders,the first one maybe an inch wide the next one 3 inches,it came out really cute
