If you are a collector of quilting magazines browse through those, not so much for the featured articles but pay more attention to the advertisments of quilt shops that show pictures of their shop interiors with quilts hanging on the walls. I have recently completed three quilts from ideas that I got this way, there was no point in trying to order the pattern as the panels I had were a different size, so I just worked out the measurements to make the design fit my panel. Also try looking at the popular fabric manufacturers free pattern section on their web sites they are also a good source of ideas.

Well, you could use the large center panel as the center of a quilt, and the others for the corners. It would look great in combo with log cabin blocks. That would take care of your scraps.

If you look, you might find fabric printed with leaves, or tree branches, or grass, or cows or horses, whatever he would like.
