    Trip around the world. I can think of tons of quilts you could make. I just don't know all their names.

    Disappearing nine patch although I think I would add either some red or white to make it "pop" and not be so dark.

    How about you put them in a paper bag, shake them, and pull out squares randomly? That would make for a great modern quilt.

    Chasing Hawk, what you have there is a Disappearing 9 Patch. It's beautiful.

    I was thinking of a Disappearing 4 Patch. Make a 4 patch of lights and darks on opposite corners. Make a cut about 1 inch on each side of each seam. Now flip or exchange the 4 middle pieces that are tiny strips of light and dark, (not the center piece), and sew that resulting 9 patch back together. They are so cute.

    If you sew these resulting squares together as is, you get a secondary pattern.

    Have fun!

    Not sure you know of this online free magazine. You have to make a login name and password, but it is free.
    http://www.quiltposium.com/

    The summer 2010 issue, pages 78-79 has a good one for your squares. Article name is Just Perfect.

    The author had a cute story to tell about teaching a class in Ann Arbor MI on the day of the UofM/Ohio state big game. She had made up kits for the class using Ohio's colors, not knowing they were Ohio's colors or about the rivalary. LOL
