I have a lot of different ideas on what to make, but as soon as I think of an idea I come up with another. So I'm wondering what kinds of quilts others on here have done for charity to maybe get some ideas and hopefully make my brain slow down a little.
One of my favorite patterns to use is called an "H" quilt and it is so easy yet very striking when finished. The two sides of the H are cut 3-1/2" x 9-1/2" and the squares in the middle (two background and one "bar" of the H) are cut at 3-1/2". Of course, you can adjust the size to suit yourself. It makes a pretty scrappy quilt or is just as pretty when you use just two colors.
