i know you said you were looking for a twin size quilt - but what about a window valance? I did this w/ some orphan pieces that my great aunt made back in the 30s or 40s..

wow! that looks so cute! I will definitely use that in the future--it's just I have this quilt in mind for a preteen DGS.

This sample looks really good. It will give you space for some great quilting on the plain blocks. I love Americana quilts! It is on my list of to do. I madea small flag wall-hanging but not a whole quilt. The blocks you have are beautiful.

I like these 2 pictures better than the first picture. In fact, I like the 3rd picture the best. :thumbup:

If you have extra fabric or ones that will match make solid blocks for around the bom ?

Maybe this is a sign to send them to someone that would know what to do with them. I read a post yesterday where she was wanting to do a swap of rwb blocks for the veterans in her area. And the size is just what she was wanting I believe.
