I have made such a quilt from squares that my class had cut about ten years ago, believe it or not. some of the fabric had 1969 printed on them. Only thing is I did not sort the squares by colors. I put them all in a small cardboard box and had my grandchildren draw "the lucky winner" out. Consequently I ended up with a "unique" quilt. It really is so terrible, that it looks like that is the only material that "Granny" had. It is a nice mixture of aquas, greens, blues, and whites. But, then there are about eight pieces of red flannel. For the backing I dug around and camef up with an old cotton sheet, white with pretty aqua flower bouquets . and it looks okay. I am in the process of quilting it with blue thread. Oh well, it's an original. but, I am starting a scrap laundry basket. And now I will have to get two more so that I can sort the colors! Thanks!
