I have 102 gingham strips in pink, blue, yellow, red and a light brown that measure 3 1/2" X 16" . I got these from a thrift store awhile back and ran across them today while getting some things organized. Anyone know of a fast quilt pattern to use with these? Any suggestions appreciated.

Postage stamp. Maybe (smallish) pinwheels?

alternate them with white muslin of the same width. Then play with the color arrangement.

or make 4-patches and add an alternating fabric.

I have a special fondness for gingham and was just talking about doing a pinwheel quilt with white and various ginghams.

All the suggestions are good ones. I can only add a scrappy quilt. Have fun :!: :!: :!:

rain fence. sew 3 strips together and cut a square for rail fence. two together and cut squares and alternate.

Any book that uses jelly rolls, will just be larger.
You have a treasure there....

I've done a really pretty strip pieced quilt that I did by sewing several strips together then cutting the group into squares and then triangles. I then made pinwheel type blocks with the triangles. I used a neutral sashing.
