100 Quilts for Kids

In my efforts to cut and tidy up my scraps...I found these squares.  My friend Holly sent these to me months ago.  And now I know what I want to do with them!  100 Quilts for Kids is gearing up and I hope to use these for a quilt for a child right here in my community!

(Head over to Katie's blog and read more about this project!!)

The squares are not uniform...some are near 5x5 inches, but others are 3.5 x 4ish...so I might start by squaring up these pieces...but from there...I'm still in the dark.  Do I keep it uniform? Do I stack them like a coin quilt? Do I use them as the middle of a log cabin?  any suggestions?

  1. Ooh, I love these! I like the idea of using them in the middle of a log cabin, but I know whatever you come up with will be darling!

  3. I have done multiple little girl quilts with embroidery motifs as th center of a log cabin and I find if the colors for the "logs" are drawn from the motifs it sort of ties things together and little kids love the "stripes".

  4. Seriously, those are so much fun!!! Hm. I would probably just do different size solid borders around them, to make the blocks a uniform size. But then, I'm predictable :) Thanks, Jenny, for posting about 100 quilts.

  6. Log cabin sounds like a good idea! Also a way to use up more scraps!
