What a good idea! Add that to the fact that the quilt is lovely and you have a winning combination.

I really like this. Very colorful!

I like your rag quilt! I have made many of them, but have not used the same color squares on the back, as it seems you have. I like the look it gives with the dark fabric showing in every square. Kudos to you for making the alzheimers quilt for the walk!

It a very pretty quilt! So glad you finished it and shared it here. What a wonderful idea to make one for the Alzheimer's walk.

Another idea comes to mind along that line. A Memory Squares could be mase (kinda like the kid's game from a long time ago) with two identical squares scattered around so the child or the patient can find the two that are alike.

I love your quilt. One question. Is the back all black or do you have a third black square sandwiched between top NS back squares?

thank you all for the comments. I really needed a large space to lay it out so I didn't have matching colors next to each other so I waited until a day i could spend at my sisters in her sewing "loft" (her entire second floor is one big room with little nooks and crannies and it is almost entirely filled with sewing stuff!) I used just two layers of flannel -one for the front and one for the back. the back is solid black. i wanted something that would highlight the squares and with so many colors in it i thought black would be the best choice.
